Relationships are a lot. It takes effort. It takes time to grow. Sometimes, it can feel like it is headed nowhere, you just have to leave.
No, I’m not speaking of romantic relationships alone. I’m talking friendships, business, work, family etc.
Recently, I read an article saying that a person shouldn’t see coworkers as friends or bosses as family. Everyone is out for themselves. But how true is this? I feel it’s safe to say, “do what’s best for yourself”. However, neglecting relationship building or better still networking is shooting yourself in the leg. Set boundaries, don’t be a grinch.
Another thing I have learnt is that it doesn’t matter how you come in or what you did in the time the relationship lasted. How you leave that relationship will either haunt you or help you.
Do you leave people just like that? Do you leave on mutual terms? It wasn’t working and so you left, understandable. Hope you didn’t leave the other party in an emotional shipwreck? Imagine quitting a job with no notice?
Totally shut out toxic relationships. For the mutual and beneficial ones, keep fueling the flame. Don’t ghost.
a drop of honey for your day…
P.S. It has to be mutual. You don’t have to please anyone to keep the door open. Any door that isn’t stable should be shut.
