You may or may not have heard the quote "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" by Marilyn Monroe. It is, in my opinion, a fabulous quote, and lately it has been my motto. It is especially true when dealing with a certain ex-friend of mine who decided recently that she no longer wished to speak to me. The thing is, as hard as I have tried to care, I really can't. Why should I miss someone who doesn't even miss me? And why should I put effort into caring about someone who doesn't care about me? The answer to both is that I shouldn't. And this doesn't only go for me. People shouldn't put effort into something that they get no return from. If it isn't making you money or giving you joy in some way, don't do it. And if you're putting effort into a relationship(romantic or friendship) with another person, and that person isn't putting the same effort in, there is a very good chance they are not worth your time at all. It can be hard to end relationships that once made you happy, but if that same relationship is now making your miserable or that person is now driving you nuts, you should move on. And anyone that wants you to change how you act or has double standards isn't someone worth your time. You deserve WAY better.
Live and Love,
Melanie

Just thought I'd let you know, this blog post really helped me through things (you know what I'm talking about). So thank you for writing this. I've also sort of made that Marilyn Monroe quote my motto because of this.
