Fake people!

I am ridding myself of those who only support me when I do what they want me to do. I am an individual. Granted, I can be a little flighty sometimes, but I am always trying to do what is right. I help people out as often as I can even if helping them puts me in a bind. I strive to be the kind of person people feel they can rely on to be there when times are tough. I do not want to alter my being, who I really am, in order to maintain relationships that do me more harm than good. It is difficult to let go of some relationships because those people have been a part of my life for decades, but in the end, letting them go has created a release deep down in my spirit.

I want to grow relationships with people who really care about me, who love me and respect me. I want to surround myself with those who honestly support me no matter if they agree with what I do or not. I do not think I am being idealistic either. I am not perfect, but I try not to judge others. When I do find that I am behaving judgmentally, then I step back and think about how much someone means to me; I approach each relationship out of love.

Is that wrong? I am not sure, but someone who I once loved  said to me that he admired how much I gave of myself, how much I am willing to trust others, and how those characteristics made him love me even more. I want to continue to be that person.
