Relationships are very strange, aren't they. Most people have to belong somewhere, whether it be with a small group or a large group. Face to face, or virtually online. Friendships might progress into something more solid, or maybe fizzle out into nothingness.
Clinging on to a relationship, or a friendship, which isn't working can be folly. Best to let go and move on. Three score years and ten is not long to be on this earth in the grand scheme of things. To be in a place which doesn't feel right, is a good enough excuse to do something about it.
If you need support, you can cling on to whoever or whatever will provide it. Then you feel safe. You have a cushion to fall against to soften the blow. If you are brave enough to go it alone then you have the confidence and tenacity to face up to the truth, and that is, life has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
What we do in the middle of it can have repercussions either way. If we hand over our lives to others then we are reliant on them for our happiness. When influences become too loud, then we tend to cave in and follow. Go with the flow because it feels safe. Perhaps going in the direction of my friends is a safe bet. Maybe I will follow. Or maybe I won't.
But then there are compromises. How much of your own life will you compromise for the benefit of others, and to the detriment of your own? Why not be a leader, instead of a follower. Then you keep your integrity intact. Others may stumble, maybe you won't. With clearly defined goals you build your own future. You get to choose which way next.
How do you know you're in the right place?
Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
