"Because sometimes there is no easy way out. You just have to grin and bear it. Sometimes the only escape route is to go straight through the flames, just brace yourself and bite your lip. Sometimes you have to sever the ties clean off. Because in every relationship there comes a point when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was, the memories can’t sustain you."
saw this on cynthia's blog found it so apt for how i am feeling now rainy day, emo day nah not really emo just stirs some thoughts that i've been trying to push back for awhile till i saw this paragraph that just got me thinking again
there are many types of relationships that people will go through family ties, love, friendships, acquaintances.. i've been through all and if some good old friends rem, i had a tough time letting go of a past love relationship nah not going into that cux i've let go of that (we're great friends now and i'm happy with that) but what i realise is harder to let go than a love relationship is a friendship and that's what i am going to talk about
many friends come and go, and those who stay must have made an impact in your life some good old friends remain like the way they were since i've knew them not talking about physical appearances but its what's inside that has never changed some changed, and you try to accept them for their changes accept the new them their changes may have brought hurt to you directly or indirectly but you suck it in telling yourself that being that friend you've gotta accept
but.. when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was, the memories can’t sustain you. indeed.. the memories still flash at times but i've gotta protect myself too maybe that's why i've to helplessly watch this friendship go down the drain with no remedies that i can think of the pain of watching this friendship that was built over time that has certainly braved through storms go down the drain just like that i am just reminded of how small we are and how helpless we can be and all we can do is to grin and bear bite our lips and move on just be glad our paths crossed before and maybe you don't know it i have once treasured this friendship so much against all odds
