In some ways life IS like the Facebook Newsfeed algorithm.
If you stop liking, commenting, or interacting with your friends, they show up less and less in your newsfeed. JUST a simple algorithm.
The TRICK is NOT thinking THEY did it to YOU on purpose even if they did, or realizing maybe it’s OK if they did it intentionally.
Relationships of EVERY kind are sort of like a garden.

What you tend to, grows and gets the most attention, and sometimes you have to walk ALL the way around the garden to get to an individual flower again!
Some of the plants and flowers can disappoint you from time to time, but even so something keeps you from snatching them out of the ground and turning them into the next thing on the top of the compost pile.
An old adage is when you get tired of something you don’t have to throw it away, sometimes you just need a break from it.
