When to let go...and I did.

Imagine this. In your hand is a very precious
creation, so fragile, so
valuable that if you keep on holding, it would
either stay or fall apart.
But you loved this creature so much, so much that
letting it go would be
like letting go of your life as well. So much that
sometimes you wished it
would be there forever. So much that you tend to
be selfish at times so as
you could make it stay for as long as you like.

Don't we all wish something "so good" could be
forever? Don't we all hope
that happiness is there to stay?


One person said, never ever let your heart run
your life, as much as you
can, always be sensible and let your mind speak
for itself. Try to listen
not merely on what your feelings is invoking on
you as a person but more
importantly listen to reason as well.


Letting go of someone doesn't necessarily mean you
have to stop loving, it
only means that you allow that person to find his
own happiness without
expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just
setting the other
person free (in the real sense of it), but it is
also setting yourself
free from all animosity, revulsion, and resentment
that was long kept in
your heart. You have to let go because the
bitterness often puts away the
strengths and weakens the least hope, making
our lives more miserable
than ever. Worst, presenting yourself as the "most
affected one" sets the
nastiest impression of all time--whatta a loser!


The trick there is...always remember that if you
lose someone today, it
means that someone better is coming tomorrow.


If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed
in love...right? Just
regard it as another mismatch of heaven! Well, you
can cry of course, or
whine or shout (growl even) if you have to, but
make sure that after those
outbursts you have washed away the hurt and the
bitterness that the past
has left with you (easy said than done I know!).


We can all survive with just beautiful memories of
the past but real peace
and happiness come only with open acceptance of
what reality is today. You
really don't have to forget someone you love
('cause it's hard). What we
need to learn is how to accept the verdict of
reality without being bitter
or sorry for what we have become. I think it's
better that we give off
that dedication and love to someone more
deserving. Hmmm..."Who could it
be" is the next interesting question to ponder.


Let go of yesterday and love will find its way
back to you. And when it
does, pray hard that it may be the love that will
stay and last a
lifetime.

There is life after the pain.
