There comes a point when you stop making excuses for people.
When you stop convincing yourself that maybe they were just busy, distracted, or “going through something.”
You start realizing that if someone truly values you, they won’t keep canceling, rescheduling, or forgetting.
Because respect doesn’t need reminders. Consistency doesn’t need convincing.
When you try a couple of times to make plans with someone and they keep going back on their word — that’s not bad timing, that’s a pattern.
And patterns tell the truth that words often hide.
The hardest part about letting go of certain people isn’t missing them — it’s grieving the version of them you created in your mind.
The one you hoped they could be.
The one who was thoughtful, reliable, emotionally available.
But you can’t build a genuine connection on potential.
Potential doesn’t call back. Potential doesn’t show up.
You have to trust people to be who they consistently show you they are — not who you wish they’d be.
When you do, you’ll stop taking it personally.
You’ll stop asking, “Why don’t they care?” and start realizing, “This is just who they are.”
And that realization is freeing.
Because once you stop chasing the version of someone that exists only in your imagination, you make space for real connections — with people who mean what they say and show up with their actions.
You deserve that kind of energy.
You deserve consistency.
You deserve someone whose “yes” means “yes” — not “maybe.”
So stop waiting for potential to mature. Stop rescheduling your worth for people who can’t keep their word.
When someone keeps showing you who they are — believe them.
And move forward in peace.
With love, yours truly, Cristian.
