Mind, Body, Soul
Running
Back and 8 Reasons
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! In this column, I'll be finishing the book we've been
reading. I've learned a whole lot. Keep reaching. Keep stretching. Keep
your mind agile.
The Art Of Letting Go - Chapter 20 - "What You Should Do When You Want
To Run Back To Them" - Kim Quindlen
You're alone . It sucks. The sadness and isolation you feel is so
sickeningly heavy. You've imagined a reconciliation a million times.
Your equilibrium is off and you don't know how to sort out anything
you're feeling.
How do you know you're doing the right thing?
How do you know you're not making a mistake?
The instinct will be to run back to them. We're conditioned to believe
that's love. We've seen it in movies. We've heard it in songs. But,
that's not really love. It's the desperation, the race to win back
someone.
We think that's how we're supposed to behave in real life. But real
life doesn't happen in 105 minutes, with a set-up, a problem, a climax,
and a resolution. It doesn't happen in a tender, 3-minute song.
You deal with your break-up, you feel the emotions, and you come to
certain conclusions.
Maybe you are meant to be together and you both need the break-up to
mature, to understand yourselves as individuals, to figure out that
this is what you truly want. Or, maybe you're supposed to be alone for
a while to meet someone else.
Either way, you'll never know if you run back to them right now.
Now is the time to live the beauty of a normal, painful, 3-dimensional
life.
But, it comes at a price. You can not get over the break-up by
romanticizing the experience. You just have to go through it in all of
it's unappealing glory. Eventually, with time, you will know what is
right. You will know if you should go back to this person. It's just
going to take longer than a 2-minute scene set by a fountain in
New York City on a bright, sunny day.

Hurt You Most In life" - Brianna Wiest
