It is their loss
I remember talking about how someone didn't want to be around me any more and I could not understand why. The pain and the agony of not understanding just blew me away until one day a friend said to me, "It is their loss, because you are a wonderful fantastic person. Anyone who would blow you off and not want to be around you is really ignorant, so it is their loss." I replied with an acknowledgement that my friend was most likely right and also told my friend that I really appreciated that friend's candor and insight. So if someone you really like decides to ignore you and go their own way, let them, because it is not worth the pain and the agony one feels when this happens, especially if you really cared about the person or people who walk out of your life. Life is too short to worry about those who walk away. Spend your time cultivating those who stay. Besides the people who decide to stay in your life and be a part of it are the most valuable people in your life because they care and they want to be around you.
