Why do we abandon the people, relationships and situations that we say are meaningful/significant to us?

In the past 7 months i’ve abandoned projects (like this one), i’ve abandoned my workout regiment, my writing, even some people.

Okay so the people I abandoned needed to be excised from my life LOL.

But seriously, I can blame/excuse the abandonment on a number of things but that doesn’t take away the fact that I walked away from them.  How many times have you stopped calling someone that you felt so connected with because…you met someone new? or your life schedule was thrown off and so you fell off your work out? (maybe that’s just me. hmmm)

On a deeper level, are we abandoning situations/people/ etc because we don’t want to be abandoned by them?  We leave before we get in to deep?  Afraid of what might happen?

I mean could you imagine, what could happen should I drop all the excess body fat % and look fabulous in everything I put on my body?   LMAO.  nope I will stop working out and complain as the inches creep on and I can’t fit anything because then that means I can’t go out because I don’t have anything to wear.

How many people do we abandon as we meet someone new?  we say we don’t abandon them because we are “all adults with lives.” however, when you develop a friendship with someone and then stop calling, stop connecting (social media does not constitute connecting), do you ever wonder how that person feels with the void you’ve left? or perhaps you are that person nursing a void of someone you used to hang out with?

Watch who and what you abandon.  We’d love to say that we have folks who we can not speak with for months at a time and pick up like we never missed a beat but honestly we did.  We missed moments that when retold months later lack something.  Connection is important in this day and age when social media dictates how we communicate.

Are we really building tribes? or a bunch of nomadic clusters that float to the next high?

btw..I apologize for abandoning this site. I can give a lot of reasons that sound valid and probably are, yet it still doesn’t excuse that I started something and walked away from it.

I’m still breaking habits…a work in progress
