Ends are hard.

Sometimes it’s tempting to send one last message or make one last remark, but I have to stop and think: who are you doing it for?

Are you sending that last message because there’s something truly important you need to convey to the other person before the lines of communication close?

Or are you just trying to have the last word?

Option C is that I’m reaching out because that’s what I always do, regardless of how much I get back from the person.  I need to learn when to stop; when to just wait for them to come back to me.

I got in a fight with someone I really care about recently (more accurately, his girlfriend got in a fight with him and told me in no uncertain terms to go f*ck myself), and I’ve been struggling to decide if I should send him a message or not.  I’ve finally started to come to terms with the fact that I shouldn’t keep reaching out to him if he’s going to site by and let his girlfriend speak to me the way she did without speaking up or coming to me to apologize later.

Sometimes, you just have to walk away.  And that, you do for you.
