Variety of Relationships
There are relationships in life that are the most wonderful God-inspired creations one can encounter. These are the ones that are worth fighting for...I am so blessed to have a few of these.There are relationships that begin great, but due to the constant change that is evident all around us, float out into the sea of the forgotten.
Then there are the relationships that cease to have fulfillment, they are only a source of continuous discomfort. I have had a few of these...
This of course is not an exhaustive list...
In my early twenties, I picked up a commitment ideology that has led me to make some really unhealthy decisions. My thought was one in which to truly love another person, you work through things, you stick it out, you fight until something good comes out of it...this has led me to stay in dangerous situations. I didn't want to let go of these things because of history in friendship, but I realized in order for me to have a future I had to let go.
I realized that some relationships can be helpful, but some can really hinder you. I am not saying to always leave negative situations, but if you continue to feel like crap in a situation it may be the best to leave it...especially if it is not God-inspired.
Now we can get into a huge discussion over all relationships being God-inspired but our being sinful we are not able to maintain health in situations...
I still believe in sticking it out, fighting for the good, but I think that if you continually feel like you are being tortured....probably not the best place to be.
I know that this is one of the best, healthiest, decisions I have EVER made...
I feel completely at peace...which I have not felt in a long while.
