Hello y'all! I hope everyone is doing well today. It's been beautiful and sunny here in Leicester - I hope the rest of the country's enjoying the same!
I know I've written about letting go in one of my very early posts, but I guess this is something that keeps cropping up!
Recently I was told that it would be easier to let go of someone you loved than to keep them. Now I personally don't understand this theory, but perhaps someone could shed some light on the matter? For me personally, if I loved someone, I would do everything in my power to keep them, to fight for what we had. But apparently in New Age Love, you LET GO of the person you love rather than keep them and share good times with them. Maybe this makes me 'old fashioned' but ¡¡no comprendo!! I don't understand this at all. Isn't it so much harder to let go of the person you love, than to, say, keep them and share your life with them...no matter what part of the world they're in...?

I really love your quandaries. Lol
ReplyDeleteI most definitely agree with you though. If you really really love someone, to let go of them would feel near to impossible. You’d forever feel empty, and broken. It’s not easy at all. As much as your mind may agree to letting them go, everything that you are resists that notion, and won’t allow it!
It would just be so hard.
I’m sure this is probably how you feel about your partner.
Why would you ever want to let go of someone you love anyway?
UNLESS,
If there was something you were holding the one you love from, and something they really needed to do, but, would never admit to it...
...you have to let them go :(
Love may still be there, may forever be there, but, you love your significant other so much, that you put their happiness, their desire for self accomplishment, before thy self.
You sacrifice your own self, so they can have everything which means so much to them.
Letting them go, in this case would be easier than remaining together, because when you really love someone, all you want for them is to feel complete happiness and fulfilment...even if that is without you!
Sometimes, love can be enough, however, in my experience sometimes it’s not.
Thanks for that Vipul! Makes sense I suppose...thanks for that last part, although sometimes that is used as an excuse to just let someone go because it's easier...
ReplyDeleteGood one :)
