Redundancy

Some relationships, like those with parents, siblings and important/close friends, take precedence over others. We love these people more, want to go an extra mile for them, stand up for them and reason for them. In short we're willing to bid for them unconditionally. It feels incredibly good to be an important part of their lives but what happens when you become redundant?

They will probably be too cold to realize, too weak to make a confession (and by default amends), too insensitive to care or too shameless to make an apology. It may not affect them, because you've long taken the back-seat in their lives; for you, however, coming to terms with reality might be more difficult than you thought. However difficult it might be, wouldn't you RATHER accept reality sooner than later? you can't hold back someone who doesn't, wouldn't and couldn't care. Save what's left your self-esteem and make a dignified withdrawal. No, you don't need to show the other person that you're hurt. Broadcasting feelings to those who don't care might get you sympathy but it'll never get you respect.

They say bad things happen for a reason?
But no wise words gon' stop the bleeding :)
