Ego Eats Relations

I had a friend, who I had to cut off from because the relation was not going good for my mental health. Everyday it was battle to avoid disputes, for the both of us.

It's not like she and I were not hitting it off well. We were like buddies and we used to share everything with each other, it was so good that only a mutual consent would have locked the doors for an official relationship. 

Things did take an overturn when we couldn't manage time, or were not expressing ourselves, which ultimately ended the scope for individual self awareness, self check and self evaluation. 

We stopped talking, abruptly, because I cut it off, she tried to get the relation back, I have to give it to her. But my mental health and peace were my top priority then, and even now. She might have taken it for my ego. 

So, after months of facing the covid virus, consideration and mental relaxation, I got that life is too short, and tried talking to her. 

I told her that there is still scope for us to sit and deliberate and talk it out, mend our ways and get back the friendship we had. Sadly, she was adamant that she wasn't free or is far from coming back because in her terms she doesn't chase anyone, ever. 

I really felt bad for her, for the way she sees ego above her relationships and acquaintances.

I couldn't imagine how she manages the people who try to mend ways with her.

Ego really eats you, it does. 

I ate my ego or you can say my priorities to build up something or karma got to me, but things don't go as planned.

So, a gentle advice to you, the reader, please, don't take your relationships lightly. Something made your relation bad, try to mend it. Just try, if that doesn't work, don't feel bad, you at least tried, huh.
