Some Things will Hurt Until They’ve set you Free- Benjamin Zulu
You keep sneaking back to them because you derive pleasure from them while in fact they’re harmful to you in the larger scheme of things. But since you’re driven by emotions you refuse to think of long term and you indulge in the present but you’re never allowed to find satisfaction there. It always comes with a bitter after-taste and an ache in your soul.
You swear never to get involved again but as soon as the cravings come you run after then again, and so you end up in the same pain. That pain is your messenger that you don’t belong there and it will stay until you realise that and walk away.
Some of our weaknesses come in form of people. Someone you find so hard to resist but whom you know you shouldn’t be with. And because of your history together your hands are tied from seeking help lest you expose both of you. You can’t even tell them off because you cannot stand up to them.
They represent that side about yourself you’re unable to control yet. The solution will be a radical decision to exit the orbit once and for all. Remove the middle ground, the meeting point. Change offices, change contacts, change jobs. Anything. There’s no mild way of solving a stubborn problem. You’ve been trying already and you know that.
