I've realized recently that family members can change over time. The love and trust they had for you may become flaky as they start paving their own life paths. Even if this hurts and I know I had probably been coddling Ellie or others too much, it is a silver lining in disguise. Now, I can trust in myself more, and further trust those who really have my back and want the best for me: Mehdi and Katsu, and maybe Ryosuke. Most importantly I have myself, my future self to become and grow with and into.
I won't tolerate such flakiness anymore and just be civil and move on with my day. I have brighter days and goals to envelope myself in, like improving my overall health, paying things on time, emotional management, and getting back into fitness while enjoying the process, and not purely on the results.
I will possibly have bad days where I get hurt again or give in to helping "ghosters", but I can start over the next day, or the next minute after such a mistake as many times as I need to since this is my path and time. Most of all, this year is the year I will be gentler with myself.
