Is the effort worth it.

 As humans we very often find ourselves trying to go above and beyond what we should. We put a lot of effort into things that we don't need to or rather that we should not. Especially when it comes to relationships. We often find ourselves going above and beyond for people that we love or want to love us back. However, those same people never reciprocate that love. So why do we do that? And when should we realize that it's time to unplug our energy source to that person.

To start you have to analyze the relationship that you have with that person. You have to understand the dynamic of the relationship. An example is this person a family member that needs you in their life, or somebody that is not someone who needs to hold a place in your world. Sometimes we have placeholders while we think and wish for what we really want. If you determine that this person is someone who needs you in their life, like a child who is not an adult, then you will have to proceed with the relationship. However, any other person on this Earth is not a necessity in your life.

Once you have determined and analyzed if that person needs to hold a place in your life then you need a determine what need they fulfill in your life. Is this person your husband or wife? Is this person a family member? Is this person just a friend? You need to analyze them from an outside perspective and determine whether or not this person is reciprocal of the love and affection that you are giving them. Oftentimes we clean to people who do not reciprocate the level of appreciation that we give them. If this person has time and time again proven that they cannot reciprocate your actions in some way then it's time to let that person go. The old saying if at first, you don't see you try try again can be detrimental to your mental and emotional health. Trying again means that you dust yourself off and get up and try a different path. But continuing to try to have something with someone that is proving themselves to be a negative influence over your life is a delusion. So yes at this point you need to let it go.
