Letting Go of Caustic Relationships

Letting Go of Caustic Relationships


I'm not one to tread lightly when it comes to relationships that have gone the distance, but sometimes length of time involved doesn't have much to do with quality of time.

I have had a few relationships lately that I have gone the distance, but haven't held up in the end. My old messages from the past make me feel like I have failed in some way, because I'm no longer the man who was available and loving for a friend who really has been sucking out my energy for years. I've put up with it because I'm a nice person and I don't like to cause waves. But as I get older, I'm realizing there is just isn't time for all the people that have gathered in my life. I'll very much make time for the wonderful people that have presented themselves authentically and lovingly in my life, because I know it's a gift. But friends who are constantly causing contention and drawing into a backward flow of emotion are just simply not friends.

What is your definition of friendship? Can you say that you have been the kind of person you would wish to have as a support system in your own life? 

I ask myself those questions everyday when faced with the idea that I may not be the same friend as I was in the past.  Is that such a bad thing? Don't we want to change for the better each day? Isn't life about inevitable change?

My advice today is to let the seasons of friendship
