All relationships are sacred to us.
Be it family, friends or our significant other. And we are all bound to each other by Invisible Strings.
We hold one end of the string and the opposite end is held by the other person.
The closer the relationship, the tighter the string. The stronger the connection.
But we all have some loose strings too.
The people that we hold on to but who take us for granted. These are the people who pick up the strings on their end only when they need you and then let go when you are of no use anymore.
To be happy, you need to let go of these loose strings forever.
It won’t hurt you to let go of people who don’t value your presence in their life, but someday they’ll realise they are the ones who lost a caring soul.
Likewise, if you are at the other end of such a string, introspect.
Someday you’ll pick up one such loose string only to realise there’s no one on the other side anymore.
Value the relationships you have in life. Don’t just use them for your own purposes.
