A day after receiving a text from the person, I questioned myself, “Why am I still communicating with this individual?” I finally took a moment to question the purpose of this particular individual’s place in my life after a roller coaster of disappointment, confusion, and emptiness.
There was no longer a purpose for this person in my life, and I knew this from our consistently-shallow-inconsistent-interactions with each other. If anything, the conversation now was always forced with an underlying tone of inhibition. Even if I wanted the interactions we experience now to change, reality, logic, and statistics told me they wouldn’t.
How often do you force purpose upon someone who hasn’t had any purpose in your life for quite sometime, other than the purpose of teaching you a lesson of “letting go”. It is wasted energy and effort — holding on or continuing dead and un-productive relationships. It’s time…to let go.
