We all have them. The people in our lives (as dominantly, or as in the background as they are) that we wish we never met, or the ones that we wish would give us that last reason to boycott them from our lives for good.

Is the reason that this person remains so apparent in our lives, because they are ‘fake’ (a “perfect” poster child of jealousy’s expectations)… and so, as a result, we feel that we could be considered to be superficial to let them go. Or maybe, it’s because he or she is just an ass… at least, most of the time? Either way, this person (or these people) are in our lives through some means or another (for some reason or another) and we wish they weren’t.

This person(s) may occupy our personal space often (i.e. family) or they may be a ‘fly by night pal’ (i.e. that chick your friend married). No matter what the reason, he or she is there taking up space on our calendar (due to their next birthday celebration), or is on our invitee list to the next baby shower that we’re throwing, because of the ‘common friend’.

Why???? Why do we allow these people take up our emotional space? Why do we do this to ourselves?

Why do we feel obligated to extend an invitation to these people to become a member of our personal lives? Seriously!!! I’m asking? Why is it that we can’t just say things like… “I’m Sorry, I am pretty sure that we have nothing in common!”… or, “Sorry, I really don’t like you for one reason or another!” and, as a result, help ourselves get rid of that stress provoked ‘soon to be ulcer’ building up inside?

Could it be because… we have had that one conversation (REMEMBER…THAT ONE TIME?) that was decent and pleasant?

Could it be because… we are afraid that this person (THIS ONE PERSON WHO YOU SO EXTREMELY DISLIKE AT THE MOMENT) will be the one and only person who shows up to comfort you at your death bed?

Or, could it be it’s because… you’re not as much of a jerk that you sometimes wish you were?

Whatever the reason, these people our in our lives… whether we like it or not… and I hate that.
