When to let go.

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?

There comes a time in our lives when we chance
upon someone "so nice"
and "almost perfect" and we just find ourselves
getting so intensely
attracted to that person (sometimes without even
realizing it). This
feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives
and eventually
guzzles our thoughts and actions to the extent
that we tagged it as
one of those "too good to be true" thing.

The sad part there is when we begin to realize
that, this particular
person feels totally nothing but friendship.
A "thing" that would be
forever a "thing" nothing more, nothing
less...just a thing! You're
just a friend, And that's the fact! Then in our
desperate attempt to
get closer (or at least Be noticed), our efforts
are still futile and
we end up sorry for ourselves.

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
littlest 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 wayback to you.
And when it does, pray hard that it may be the
love that will stay
and last a lifetime.
