It takes so much courage and bravery to walk away from it all.. while you still can.

“It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realise that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself - if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me. I love myself enough to walk away from that now.” - Jennifer Lopez

it takes so much courage and bravery to walk away from it all.. while you still can.

everyone has their limits. sometimes, they may seem like they're like that drink in a restaurant - bottomless. but like any other glass in that resto, there would come a time when enough is enough, you've had your fill so it has to stop and you have to walk away from it.

it surprised me that Jennifer Lopez actually said those words from above in an interview from Cover Media. for once, i agreed with her. what she said doesn't just apply to her, nor anyone who is undergoing separation, whatever kind that may be. it could apply to anyone, or anything.

for example, someone addicted to something, if he or she still has some love and respect for him/herself, would have that courage to turn their backs on what they're addicted to. once they've realized it's not doing them any good, no matter how they're craving for it, they're gonna brave it and forget about it no matter how hard it is.

same for friendship. you can call anyone your friend, anyone can call you their friend. but it takes real friendship to prove that it's that kind of friendship that's gonna build you and support you, and, when you fall, catch you and help you back up.

but, i have to clear myself. i'm not saying that if you don't have that kind of friendship with some people does it mean you're not really friends. it's just that there are those friendships where one benefits more than the other. one might need, say, support, and you just have to give it, and you in turn, would just wait for what the other could offer if you're not the type of person problems likes to take over everytime. it could be the same thing in a relationship, but i'm not gonna make this a novel because i'm just gonna go all over again, saying the same thing.

and just like an addict, while you can withstand that kind of relationship, i think you should. but when you can no longer deal with it, be brave enough to let go.

why am i writing this? the quote from above inspired me. that's all, folks! ☺
