Its Time to Stop!

It´s time to stop
Big Meadows Lodge in the mountain of Shenandoah National Park .

It’s time to stop… waiting for people who won’t return! If they don’t want the same things as you, it makes sense that they would walk away.

Here, you deserve better than someone who can’t or won’t commit and watch how much better your life becomes without them.

If they genuinely don’t want you in theirs, then the less time you spend with them is better for both of you.”

But make sure you have an honest partner…some that know how valuable you are. “It’s Time To Stop”

I recall Gloria Gaynor recording a song called “I Will Survive” in the 1980s…the music resonates with many people who have lived through hell and back because of toxic relationships.

Anyway, the song sounds like this…

At first, I was scared and petrified.

I could never live without you by my side, I thought.

Then, having spent so many nights thinking about how you did me wrong;

 I grew strong and learned how to get along.

So you’re back from outer space…I walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face…

I should have changed that stupid lock and made you leave your key. If I’d thought for just one second, you’d be back to bother me.

Get on now, walk out the door. Just turn around now… you’re not welcome anymore.

Did you think I’d crumble? I’d lay down and die…

As long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive.

I’ve got all my life to live and all my love to give.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart, then.

I kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.

I spent many nights feeling sorry for myself and crying.

But now I hold my head up high, and do you see me?

 Somebody new.

I’m not that chained-up little person still in love with you.

So you felt like dropping in and just expected me to be free.

I’m saving all my love for someone who’s loving me. Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

I’ve got all my life to live and all my love to give. I will survive…

OH MY GOD…

The song was/is powerful and inspiring to me. There is so much emotion, respect, confidence, and pride in it.

Qualities we all need to possess when confronted with another person’s secret plan.

Whether infidelity or growing apart, the injured person may crumble and break into pieces when the manipulative, dishonest person says goodbye.

With this in mind…if someone wants to walk out of your life, let them. There’s no need to beg and plead for their company.

Simply put…if a person wants to leave you, it’s okay to let them go. Unfortunately, it won’t be easy…but you’ll make it through the storm.

Everything will be fine.

It’s funny how things change and how suddenly, it seems like there are more critical things in this world than waiting for someone that doesn’t care about you anymore or wants to be in your life.

A life-changing moment occurs when you let go…life moves pretty fast anyway.

So don’t let yourself get held back. Dis remember them before? It’s too late!!

The less time you spend with the person who doesn’t want you in their life, the better it will be for both of you.

That sounds like a good idea, right? It’s not that easy for me, though.

I was once one of those people who could not say goodbye without crying and begging for a second chance.

It’s time to stop..

That’s no longer the case; I’m glad to report. I have discovered my strengths through self-discovery and gained the courage to admit that I would be just fine without him in my life.

Letting go of all the baggage in a toxic relationship was the best thing I ever did. I have no regrets.

In Conclusion :

I’ve been in a toxic relationship for years. The emotional abuse and the mental manipulation took their toll on me.

Nothing made sense; everything was out of control. But then, one day, I woke up and realized that it didn’t have to be this way anymore.

It wasn’t worth it to waste my time trying to make things work with someone who couldn’t even see how much they were hurting me;

Or why we weren’t happy together; all he cared about was continuing his own selfish agenda at any cost to anyone else involved – including me.

So instead of sticking around for more hurtful words and actions like usual, I decided enough was enough and left him behind forever (or so I thought).

Anyway…
