Sometimes your heart clings to the wrong person

Sometimes you will convince yourself that you are doing the right thing, even though you are with the wrong person.

You will keep making excuses to keep that person in your life. You will remember that she was there when you were having a hard time. You will quote good moments from your history while forgetting about the toxics. You will feel and convince yourself that this person should stay, because there aren’t many people in your universe who make you happy — and when that person doesn’t make you sad, you have a lot of fun.

Sometimes it’s painful to admit that a person you thought was close has turned into someone you can no longer recognize. Or maybe you’ve changed. Perhaps you are now a completely different person than you were before—not better or worse, just different.

Sometimes you will find workarounds to prolong the inevitable. You will do your best to make this relationship work before you give up on this person. You will invest in long conversations. You will make sacrifices. You will give him chance after chance after chance. You’ll do anything to keep that person as close to you as possible because you’re not ready to let them go.

Sometimes your heart goes out to the wrong person. Sometimes you will resist walking away from her because it will be heartbreaking for both of you. Sometimes you will focus on what your blind heart is saying and completely ignore the warnings you get from your stomach, your head, and your common sense.

Sometimes you don’t realize how much a person has depressed you because you’re used to their drama. It has become a tradition for you. You’ve come to think of it as normal when she hangs up the phone or leaves you for something better. Maybe you won’t be disappointed when she hurts you because deep down you already expected it. But a relationship shouldn’t be that way. You must not tolerate abuse. You deserve more than that.

Sometimes it’s hard to let go. You will procrastinate saying goodbye because goodbyes have always been hard, they break your heart.

Sometimes you need to walk away from the people you love in the name of self-care, in the name of your mental health, in the name of your personal growth. Sometimes you need to stop and ask yourself if this person who is supposed to care about you is motivating you or anchoring you in place. Even if it’s the last thing you want to do, you need to let go of someone and move on with your life.

Because unfortunately, sometimes the hardest things you have to do in life are the ones you need the most.
