Do You Hold On or Let Go?
"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.

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.

Have We Loved in Vain?
It's okay to let go of the outcome and the hope that someone who is no longer on your path will stay by your side. You know, deep down, that in the end, not only will you no longer like each other, but you won't even like yourself.
