How to 'Lego' of a Broken Relationship

10/15/2020

     A friend of twenty years told me not to be in touch until she decides to connect again.     
     It wasn’t a fight that came between us. Not even a misunderstanding. She doesn’t want to get together as we always did because she said she’s “changed a lot.”     
     This stabs deep into my heart. Doesn’t she value me anymore?      I struggle to “Lego,” to let go, of a broken relationship. What I mean is, I struggle to let go of a friend who was once warm and vibrant but now has gone as stiff toward me as plastic bricks.     
     But there’s nothing I can do because it takes two to tango. If one doesn’t want to dance, then I have to “Lego,” - even if I’m left with a hole in my soul.     
     I’m thankful that God’s friendship with me is constant, that he will never leave me. And I wish my friend realized that what we had is worth the effort to revive even as we change. Friendships are priceless, as four-year-old Claire Crosby reminds us in this song.

Letting go of a broken relationship is always hard, but you have to do it. If you want to move on with your life, then you have to do this. I understand that it is not easy for some people to do that, but it is just what we have to do. I seriously hope that we learn what it means to let go. Keeping together a relationship that will never work is just toxic and unhealthy for both parties.
