Time to Say Goodbye

Sometimes, you just have to know when to stop gambling. We all lose a few hands, and sometimes, you just want to keep playing and keep betting, if only to not let everyone else walk away from the table with your money. But there comes a point when you have to get up, grab your dignity, and walk away. That time is now.

There are people who you'll meet in life who will be happy with you no matter what you do. And there are people you'll meet in life who will always see the things you do that are wrong. There will be people who want you to stay the same, and there are people who will want you to change, for better or for worse. But no matter how many people you meet in life, you always have to remember something: you are you.

You cannot be a recreation of what someone else wants you to be. You cannot change for anyone else but yourself, no matter how virtuous or vile the reason. And above all, you are a constantly changing stream, always taking different paths and creating your own life to how you see fit. You may have additions in your life such as relationships or goals that you can nurture and support. But there are other times where what you let in your life becomes an obstruction and you either need to dispel it from your system or find a way around it. And you, being the ever-changing stream, does exactly that.

I had an obstruction. I found my way around it. And now, I have dispelled it. Goodbye. Peace be with me.
