30 days of Truth is about bringing out the best in yourself. Also, to let people see the “real” you through what you write. For thirty days I will write about myself, I will dig deep and I hope you can start this journey with me. 30 days of Truth; Are you ready!? 10 days down, 20 to go!
Day 10 – Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know
As the years have added onto me I have become a different person. I am no longer a push-over and I end things the way I see it needs to be ended.
I love how some people act like that are your friends on Facebook, but when you reply to something they say and they never reply back, but reply to the person under you, than yeah it is time for the “delete” button, and please at the next event I see you, please don’t come talk to me like you have been my friend forever.
I think throughout the years I have become “me”. I stand my ground, I walk away from people who hurt me, I close off my feelings, I have found my “straight” face, and I can hide my emotions easily.
So, at this point if I need to let go of someone, I just do it. I usually don’t explain why, or try to talk to you about it, I just simply erase you from my life.

/ July 14, 2011Better to rid yourself of those that have no value in your life, then have them hang around and suck the energy/feel-good out of you. It took me years to figure that out, till I started thinking about how much precious time I’d wasted on people that weren’t worth the effort. Good for you that you’ve learned that lesson so young.

/ July 14, 2011Thanks! I agree with you. Better to know the difference now than later. Only thing that sucks is I have to see this person soon. I just hope she just keeps to herself and not come around trying to act like my best friend.

/ July 14, 2011I had to let someone go this past February, and it was the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do. She’s family, was the closest person to me, but hurt me and what she did was unforgivable. My exact words to her were “I don’t want to know someone like you.” That was it. No more, no less. I know what’s good and whats bad for me now, and I don’t waste my time on people capable of hurting others for selfish gain. Better to state your feelings and not have to walk on eggshells worrying about it.

/ July 11, 2011That’s right. We need to delete those that doesn’t reply anyway . They are under the friends list for a reason- cause their friends that interacts with us. Good for you for initiating such a brave act. I knew some people who takes facebook so personally and they get upset when deleted but if they are true friends then they should be able to understand.

/ July 10, 2011I agree with almost everything you said. Way to go! The only thing I would add is that sometimes, it is even more cathartic to tell the person you are deleting “why” you are deleting them. A very old friend of mine and I had a huge falling out over something she said and after avoiding her for a long, long time, it was really fun to finally break my silence long enough to tell her that, yes, she was right, the reason we were no longer going to know one another was all her fault. Man, that felt GOOD! 🙂

/ July 10, 2011Sometimes it’s good to just move on… other times it helps to at least give someone the benefit of the doubt. I observe the behavior and if I see a consistent pattern of disregard, I move on… But I give it a chance first… no one is perfect, right? 🙂

/ July 10, 2011I so agree…except that these days, my face tells all…
there was a time when I had the best poker face. Now,
I am more transparent…for better or worse since I seem
to be stuck in the mode at the moment.
But, have no doubt…life is too short to put up with the
two facers and back stabbers…the worst being, and I’ve
had this happen, the front stabbers who say, “you’ll be better
off, now” or were self righteous about it. To them I say, “what
goes around, comes around.”
Excellent post.
