On Letting Go

-Staying with someone you really love even if you know it's better letting go is like standing under the rain. It feels good but you know it's going to make you sick.

-Sometimes people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know that things will get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can be a tough act and it's hard when people can't understand you for doing so.

-One grows distant from another not because of hatred, not because of indifference but because of fear. There's the fear that the hurt gets greater as one gets closer; a recognition of the tendency to fall deeply and consequently rush in a quicksand of stupid rationalities. Sometimes what drives one away is not the absence of emotion, but the overwhelming presence of it.

-A "goodbye" can hurt but not as much as an "I love you" that can't be proven.

-I thought love can melt the pain no matter how painful it is...but I was wrong, because now I know pain can melt the love no matter how great it is.

-Every tear of sadness that we shed for a person we love is a capsule of memory that we have to leave behind. We fall in love so that we will learn. We get hurt so that we will become strong, and we cry so that we can let go and find our place in the life of someone who will love us right.

-Letting go of someone doesn't sincerely mean you have to stop loving. It only means that you allow that person to find his/her own happiness without expecting him/her to come back. Letting go is not just letting the other person free in the real sense of it. But it is also setting yourself free from animosities, hostility, and resentments that was long kept in your heart. You have to let go because not doing so often diminishes the strength we have left and weakens the little hope left making our lives more miserable than ever. If ever you lose that special someone today, it simply means someone better is coming tomorrow. If you lose love that doesn't mean you failed in love. Probably it was another mismatch in heaven.

-In love you have to expect absence at some point but that doesn't mean it's the end; all you have to do is wait for a time. Give the person space because true love is proven when a person has seen the best people in the world but still turns back to where you are, reaches for your hand and chooses you above the world's best.
