Saw someone share on Facebook today about 'letting go'.
So I clicked on it, read it, and thought to myself, "This is ridiculous." And got quite annoyed with the content of it.
Reading some of the comments, I felt a little more at ease. Of course, most of them were agreeing with the thing, and there were some that disagreed.
Personally, I agreed but then disagreed after relating it to myself.
So let me share this here too, so I can properly do a post about it without you all being blur about what I'm talking about. I do not own the following image.
Okay, so I know like this person who, if reading this blog, will jump out of their seat and say, "Ya man, this is what I've been telling you to for the past 6 months!"
Shit, now it's like 7.
Why I disagree with the content:
- NEVER let anybody go without a fight. If you didn't try at all with your efforts to hold them back, then you shouldn't be giving up on them and letting them go.
This guy commented on this image saying that people who believe in this will never form lasting relationships. And know what? He's right. People who let go easily are people who will NEVER form lasting relationships. Troubles come, and they give up on the person. I say serve them right for being old lonely useless people next time when they push everybody away 'letting them go' and then nobody bothers with them anymore.
- In my case, he is the bad person. Sorry, but I cannot say that he isn't. Before he transferred, he isn't bad, in fact he was VERY good. And then after transferring, everything changed and HE and his mindset changed and he became THE bad person. His reasoning was never coherent, he hurt me intentionally (meaning here is that he know what he does hurts me, he says then he won't hurt me, but he still does it.), and never thought in my favour. I tried my best to do whatever he wanted since I tried to understand that he's in a new environment and may just be having an adjustment phase. But then everything went out of hand on his side and there were no reasons at all that were valid enough to guarantee 'letting go'.
- He forced 'letting go' upon me. I did not want it because there were no problems on HIS side. I've done everything he wanted me to do, reduced meeting times like he requested I do, almost everything I could do, I did for him and his comfort. But he still insists his thoughts upon me that I should 'let go'. This sounds more like a bloody excuse for him to seem like an angel while the whole world knows how much he's hurt me by doing and forcing whatever he wants upon me. 'Letting go' is not something valid all the time, and people like HIM will use it as a pathetic excuse for their own purpose and to neglect others' feelings.
There are many situations where letting go isn't an option. This should be a last resort, NOT an option. And certainly not one anybody should be forcing upon others. When people fight to hold on to you, they actually do care for you and they actually LOVE YOU. What are you doing to the people who keep you close to them when you force them to do what they don't want to?
They aren't even harming you! They're making your life more comfortable, and here you are, strutting your things and forcing them to leave.
Hate people who do that.
So I was sick during the weekend. He made me stay up to 'listen' to him force his way onto me with this letting go thing, even though I was running a fever with no paracetamol (panadol) and my body was aching all over. He made me read his messages even though I said I needed rest.
And the following days, he didn't even bother to ask how I was even though he supposedly treats me 'like a friend'. He, however, had time to nudge me on Draw Something.
How ridiculous can this boy get, seriously.
I'm sure he's being a friend. (sarcastic)
