Stop. You've done your part. You've been there when they needed you, when they needed a shoulder to lean on, a pillow to cry to, and a friend to talk to. You've been there.
Enough. You've had enough. You've been there when they needed you yet no one's there when you needed them. When you needed a shoulder to lean on, a pillow to cry to, and a friend to talk to. No one's there.
So this time, stop keeping people who doesn't appreciate your value. Stop keeping people who only take you for granted. Stop keeping them.
Let them go. If they want to leave. Let them leave. Don't make them stay. The only important thing here is you became a friend to them, you've been there when they needed you, and most of all, you became honest with your intentions, you became considerate with your words, and you became kind with your action.
Life is too short to waste even a single second with someone who doesn't appreciate and value you.
You deserve more than being taken for granted. You deserve more than being left behind. You don't have to beg for their presence. You don't have to beg for them to stay. Let them leave. Because if they want to stay, they will. Know your worth.
