Do You Hold On or Let Go?
Life's Brief Journey: Embrace, Release
"If you want something, let it go. If it returns, it was always yours. If it doesn't, it never was."
When we cry, it's often from pain. Pain arises from caring, and caring from having feelings. To have feelings is simply to be human. So, if you have feelings, if you care deeply, if you've been hurt, and if you've shed tears, it means you are a complete person, in every sense of the word. When sadness strikes, be kind to yourself. You are only human; there's no need to demand invincibility from yourself.
If someone who can't return disappears, or someone you can't bear to lose departs, it's okay. Time will bring the right person into your life. Until then, your most important task is to take good care of yourself.
In life, some people pass us by without us ever truly meeting them. We meet others but don't have the chance to get to know them. We get to know some, but lack the time to become truly familiar. And even when we do, we often still have to say goodbye.
Be kind to yourself, for life is brief. And be kind to those around you, for you may not encounter them again in another lifetime.

Ready to Grow Up in Love?
Let us grow through the setbacks of love and become emotionally mature adults. Being perpetually willful and stubbornly set in your ways will not make you lovable or foster a genuine connection. Instead, you simply need to be a brave adult. It's only then that you will attract and meet another equally resolute adult.

I will always remember the day my mom died. While part of me felt so alone, I had so many good friends who helped fill that void. They gave me room to grieve and yet, always supplied shoulders that would absorb my tears. All these years later, those friends are still around if I should have a "down" say. your story was a magnificent reminder that we can trust ourselves to be normal enough to grieve and yet be normal enough to enjoy our friends.
