One thing I’ve learned in life is to release control when it comes to my relationships with people be it friendships or romantic relationships. You don’t have ownership of anyone & therefore have no control over someone else’s actions. We simply get to experience life with people we cross paths with whether it be for a short period of time or years. Communicate your expectations of course but once the communication is had release control of what follows. Yes you can inspire unknowingly through your own actions & teach(someone who’s dedicated to learning of course) but you can not manipulate, argue, guilt, wait out, or sub your way into altering the consistent behavior of any individual. Their life & their actions is their own & their path to take. You get to have control of whether their path can coexist with yours in a way that is healthy & beneficial for both parties & that is all. Don’t get me wrong it’s not always easy, sometimes you may have to acknowledge when you’re starting to react to your lack of control in situations or relationships & reel yourself back in but I swear once I came to this realization I live life with so much more inner peace. Don’t overthink, just Release & live life in a way that contributes to your own happiness including the people you allow in it😊♥️
