One of the most impactful things we can do to move forward is to accept who people are and stop rewriting their personalities. Stop rewriting their intentions. Stop rewriting their hearts. We tend to have such difficulty accepting that someone doesn't belong in our life and that they may be the cause of our pain because we lie to ourselves about the effect they have on us. Our optimism pushes us to believe the best in them at the expense of our own wellbeing. We know that acknowledging who they are will be the first step in letting them go and that is scary. So we hang on. To who we wish they were, to how we wish they made us feel, and to what we thought they were before we knew them better. We delay the pain of the goodbye. And when we delay it, we compound it. It's time to stop rewriting people and simply read them as they are.
