Face It.

So that got me thinking. When people close to us screw us over or hurt us in some kind of way, we forgive them. 

When they screw us over again, we forgive them.

When they decide it'd be cool to screw us over again, we  forgive  them.

I think you get it. 

Hurtful relationships aren't good for us, yet we still suffer through them. But why? Why is it that humans thrive on hurt? I think we need to make a step towards letting people go. 

We need to work on saying "look... you suck as a friend. peace dude"
like, i dont even know. When will it get to the point where enough is enough an people can realize that suffering through getting hurt constantly isn't worth ANY amount of good that comes from a relationship?

So really, people. For yourselves.
If you feel like a friend is always hurting you, or anyone who's "close" to you...

FACE IT. 

you don't need that. get out. get out quick. 

There's better for you out there. I promise.

I see your point that you shouldn't let friends walk over you, but I was immediately reminded of some of Jesus' words:

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times."

Matthew 18:21-22

hey man, i just wanted to say I want to still be your friend, and work on apologizing and working through the shit, I dont want to lose you as my friend. Though if you dont want to ever see or talk to me again, I'll understand.

cassie, its poorly worded.

you should always forgive, but you don't have to forgive in the essence of letting the friendship continue. does that make sense?
