Sometimes it is better to let go of certain people?

Very true as some friends can become toxic to you and better off ending the relationship at least to just casual in speaking terms.

And sometimes, after you let go, you have to kick their rear to move them in the right direction, away from you.

Yup if anyone brings you more sorrow than joy then you would have to let them go life gives you enough crap already without having to put up with such person.

absolutely. i use to agonize over it but not anymore. friends don't do friends dirty

Oh yes! Sometimes we outgrow them, sometimes we realize how toxic they are. Either way, always do what feels best for you.

some people are toxic and they have to go

Absolutely
