If somebody doesn't come through for you and more importantly doesn't come through for themselves time after time, they need to go. Maybe they can sort their own shit out. Wish them the best. Help them if you can. But you can't tether yourself to them. You're just going to end up with disappointment for them and double disappointment when you're involved in something together.

Oh, and, uh, yeah, I did finally break up with my chick if that's what you're wondering.

But this is also a broader taking stock of things and people, not just her. I am posting it on OKP because a lot of people here have told me things I heard but didn't understand. Things like once you stop hitting everyone off, you see how much those favors were holding you back. Don't get me wrong, some people have laid shit on the line for me and I will ALWAYS remember that and have their back, no matter how deep it gets. But if it's somebody that's just vaguely loyal or kind of hanging around the scene, nah, they can do handle their own business.

So I guess I'd like to hear how other people see reciprocity, relationships, obligations and when to think about yourself first or other people first. Or maybe I just felt like rambling. I can't call it.
