As I have gotten older a lot of perspectives have shifted in my life and I have realized I don’t have the metal compactly nor the want to deal with low effort anything.

I am over this idea that people can do the minimum to stay in each other’s lives. At first the basis of this idea was that we are all human with busy lives and adulting is hard and blah blah blah. Now, this has become an excuse to be lazy and put in no effort. In friendships, in relationships, in all things.

I am saying No Thanks. No thanks to the bare minimum. If you don’t want to try? Fine. Just don’t bother me. I am not interested. Leave me alone in peace. If we can’t make concrete plans and sick to them to see each other, and there’s an always an excuse, or God forbid, you put in any effort and try, then please step yourself out of my life.

I want bonds. I want lasting friendships. Not these temporary holding places until ‘X’ comes along. I want to be able to depend on you. I want strong relationships. I am over this surface level, nonchalant and apathetic bullshit.

Having strong friendships and relationships does take effort. You have to make time. You have to try.

So again I say No thanks. If I stick out a hand to connect and you slap it away, I’m done. This isn’t out of spite. This is consequence meet actions. This is me protecting my peace and spirit. I am not going to waste my energy on a fruitless endeavor. Life is so, so short. Why spend it miserable, trying to keep or maintain dying bonds?

Find your people. Get out there and try. Yes, try I say, but you don’t have to try again and again and again. If your effort isn’t received and reflected- move on to the next.

Is this hard? Yes. Especially in a world that has become so frivolous and shallow.

But is it worth it? Well the people that I have seen that have these bonds I myself am looking for- Yes. It’s worth its weight in gold.

My journey continues-
