Consistency

I've noticed that people have been walking in and out of my life a lot lately. Almost like a revolving door. Sometimes they go through it once and leave just as quickly as they came, other times they go through again and again until they finally make up their mind. They see that they don't need (or don't want) to stick around and decide to leave for good. Maybe it's best that way. I need consistency. I can't deal with the whole one-day-you're-my-best-friend-the-next-day-I-want-nothing-to-do-with-you thing. Either you stick around or you leave. Your choice. I'm fine either way.

I'm also learning the hard way that people never change. If they make a mistake, chances are they'll make it again. They seem to make that same mistake just when you consider them a good person again. That's when they remind you why you didn't like them in the first place. This is why my exes are still my exes, this is why my former friends are my former friends, and this is why whenever my friends try to get back with their exes, it ends in disaster.

All I ask is that people make up their minds. That's it. If you want to be in my life, stay there. If you want to change your ways and stop making the same mistakes, then stop making the same mistakes. It's that simple. But I'm not going to force somebody to make that decision. I want the people in my life to be in my life because they want to, not because they feel obligated.
