There are several people I'm cutting out of my life- it's quite clear they don't care and even after all we've been through and how much I've been there for them. Well- it's all for nothing. Can't say I'm NOT bummed- because I am. I liked them. But that's the way life is at times.
These are the same 'friends' who showed up to my wedding almost-late. Because after months of planning they decided to go to their friends' shotgun wedding held at the same day and planned last minute (within 2 weeks of mine that we had set all year). Same 'friends' who left early (who does that) and brought along their brother- really(?!) who I met once and wasn't invited to the small affair. Same 'friends' who bug me to bring LO out to see THEM over an hr and a half away when I don't take him out much due to flu season and I don't have a car most of the week. Yeah.
As if this isn't bad enough, these people have been less than 15 mins away from me partying somewhere for a friend's birthday and didn't bother to let me know. Yesterday I found out they went to an attraction within five minutes of my house and didn't both to tell me. I mentioned it to them but got ignored. So yeah. End. Kaput. El Fin.
I'm a good friend. It's not often that I talk myself up but I'm speaking truth here. I'm loyal, I'm there for you til the end. If you need anything I'm usually the first to be there. So yeah- it hurts when I make people a priority and they make me an option at best.
Well, no more. I'm hoping to graciously 'fade' out of the picture. Fact is, we'll never get together unless I initiate and make it to see THEM on their time. Life's too short to waste and that's what I feel I've been doing. Wasting time and effort with people who couldn't give two hoots about me or what's going on in my life.
