You
Must Let Them Go
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Remember: It's
all about exercise and portion-control.
The Art of Letting Go - Chapter 14 - "If They Leave, You Must Let Them
Go" - Ari Eastman
"If he leaves, you have to let him go." My Mother sits at the kitchen
table offering up this simple sentence. I want to tell her it isn't
that easy and I don't understand why. I can see the worry in her eyes.
I want to tell her I'm okay. But in that moment, I'm not.
"But why would he say those things?" I want to ask her how I can stand
so strong against boulders, but he throws a pebble and I come apart.
"Not everything makes sense." she offers. "And sometimes trying will
drive you insane." I have learned that sometimes people say the
opposite of what they mean. Or maybe even worse? They mean it. They
want you, they love you. Everything is real.
But it changes. Our feelings, our hopes, our wants can change with such
quickness it leaves you spinning. But I still ask myself, "Why?" Why do
I feel so much and he suddenly has changed his mind?
If they leave, you have to let them go, otherwise you're still
spinning. Your stomach will land in your mouth with every headlight you
see. You will become convinced each car is theirs. That this one will
be it. That they will come back.
But my darlings, if you wait too long, the sun will keep rising and
setting and you will still be spinning. They made their decision. They
left. They could have stayed. And they didn't.
They made their choice. The sun keeps burning. And so should you. You
are reaching for new heights. You are learning to be okay with your
place in the sky. Maybe you were too beautiful and bright for them.
"How do I let him go?" I asked my Mom once. "You just do. Maybe slowly,
maybe it takes time. But eventually, you do.
"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they
can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can
make all the difference." - sun.gazing.com
The best is yet to be!! MONA
