The thing about staying is that it cannot be forced. You cannot force anyone to stay if they have already made up their mind. This hits true for friendships and any relationship from work to love.
If you have to convince someone to stay, that's reason enough to let them go. People stay if they want to and leave if they have already decided. If you are still able to convince someone to stay, know that they have already left.
You are worthy of being loved and cherished by people who are doing it from their heart and not doing it because you begged them to. It never feels the same being loved by someone who wants to love you and being loved by someone you convinced to stay with you.
No matter how much you are scared of being alone, how far you have come, or how you don't want people to know that you broke up with the person you keep posting pictures with, if they want to go, let them go. If someone wants to stay, they will always stay by choice.
And remember, life is not about who promised. People will promise you the world, but who stays is what matters. There's a difference between promising to be there and actually being there. Many people talk more than they do.
If you are not appreciated and loved the way you deserve, you always have an option to leave. No matter how hard it is, staying where you are taken for granted will do you more harm than good.
Our ‘stay quotes' will remind you to stay where you are loved and not where you are needed. You deserve the world, and if they are not giving it to you, they don't deserve you either. Only stay where you are appreciated.
