Have The Respect To Walk Away

By Evan Sanders


There's this truly challenging art in walking away from people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to respond to you, or simply don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you want to be close with as many good people as you can and you reach out attempting to make new good friends. On the other hand you have got this respect for yourself and pride in how you act. The middle ground is tough to find at times. It is something that I struggle with again and again. When do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?

I hold myself to a very high standard. A great deal of the time I find myself not desiring to do something but doing it anyways because I know the other person truly deserves that. I know that is what I would needed if the situation was switched around. But I feel that most of the time others do not do that for me. I don't know if this is just my generation, but it is more popular for people to just not take time to respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognise effort, and just hide. I don't know what it is. I don't really understand what makes people do this. Is it a dearth of respect? Do you just not like me? Do you not care?

As I am going through life, things have become more intensified. I give my heart out to others in a unique way that I have never been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But simultaneously I have experienced more perspectives that are just the largest turnoffs I've ever come by. I try and find that balance between giving people honest chances, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people go particularly when there is not any big blowup of any sort.

It's hard to switch off making an attempt to bring people joy. Because that really is what it really comes down to for me. I attempt to bring others as much joy as I can throughout the day. I attempt to make folks grin. I try to give them a little leg up, some confidence, some spark to their day that may actually make it all that miles better. I do not really expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if it's not there, I don't try to convince them...I just move on and end up leaving.

Finding the balance has been wonderfully hard on my heart lately. But in all truth, I know what I have to do. I need to walk away. I must respect myself enough, the kind of person I am and not really settle for something less than I know what I truly deserve. You have got to know what you are worth. If you don't think that you are 100% worth it, you'll never settle for just anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
