This Tattoo has gone viral along with its poem, have you read it yet? ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

โ€œLet Themโ€

โ€œJust Let them.โ€

If they want to choose something or someone over you, LET THEM.

If they want to go weeks without talking to you, LET THEM.

If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM.

If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM.

If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, LET THEM.

If they want to follow the crowd, LET THEM.

If they want to judge or misunderstand you, LET THEM.

If they act like they can live without you, LET THEM.

If they want to walk out of your life and leave,

hold the door open, AND LET THEM.

Let them lose you.

You were never theirs, because you were always your own.

So LET THEM.

Let them show you who they truly are, not tell you.

Let them prove how worthy they are of your time.

Let them make the necessary steps to be a part of your life.

Let them earn your forgiveness.

Let them call you to talk about ordinary things.

Let them take you out on a Thursday.

Let them talk about anything and everything just because itโ€™s you they are talking to.

Let them have a safe place in you.

Let them see the heart in you that didnโ€™t harden.

Let them love you. โ€œ

I have let them in the past, though there have also been times when I tried to hang on to someone, figuratively speaking. That's when I come across as desperate and clingy. I've lost so many friends in my life, over the years, and with most of them, I just let them go their way.

Some were not good friends, anyway, but people who saw the weak parts of me and used me. Some were good friends and good people, but I didn't know how to be a friend.

@WharfRat

Those that are not good to you are not your friends agree let them move onโ€ฆ

Be a friend by doing what you would like others to do as a friend. Stay true to your values. Good people attract good friends you will gain friends who are like minded .. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

How do you manage people and situations in your life that you have no control over?

I don't do anything, I just go with the flow.

What strategies do you use so you cope with the challenges?

Nothing at all.

Have you mastered the LET THEM ideology like in this writing?

I think they left me before I let them.

โ€œHow do you manage people and situations in your life that you have no control over?โ€

Complain to those who listen to me. Then look at myself as be foolish because I have no control.

โ€œWhat strategies do you use so you cope with the challenges?โ€

Still working on it. But Ideally I am being logical and reasonable with it.

โ€œHave you mastered the LET THEM ideology like in this writing?โ€

Nope but am a lot better than I use to be.

How do you manage people and situations in your life that you have no control over? I don't, I manage the things I do have control over. I recognize the difference. And write it down.

What strategies do you use so you cope with the challenges? Talking chatting journaling meditation mindfulness self care, my "focus list" of things that being me joy, my gratitude lists, sending thank you emails, telling my friends I love them.

Have you mastered the LET THEM ideology like in this writing? Yes! Usually it involves putting myself in their shoes, telling myself a story about what's motivating their behavior, and letting it be. Means I'm looking for new replacements if I believe it's important and stopping if I don't.
