When you truly can’t take anymore

Repeat after me: NO LONGER.

No longer will I be held hostage by someone else’s emotions.

By their projections.

Their demands on what they view my love, care, or concern look like.

No longer will I feel responsible for what they do with their one wild and precious life.

With their potential.

With their pain.

Love may be unconditional but relationships are not.

Relationships are one of the greatest, and sometimes, THE greatest predictor of success or failure, happiness or agony. Who you choose for a partner or even to be around you on the regular, to have access to you WILL determine your threshold for pleasure and profitability. 

When someone consistently shows you that they are unable or unwilling to be responsible for themselves and to bring reciprocity to you, it's time to let go. You MUST be RUTHLESSLY PRAGMATIC about it. It simply is. To keep the door open only prolongs your suffering and delays your potential (and likely theirs as well).

Gift them and yourself with the greatest gift of all - radical autonomy.
