HAVE YOU EVER...

…loved someone so much that you let them go?” Dwell on that familiar quote for a while. What is it trying to say? Yes, it lyrical. Yes, it’s beautiful. Yes, it seems filled with wisdom and insight…but, is it? I think that’s all it is…beautiful, lyrical, but pointless and ambiguous. The only way I can even fathom it making any bona fide sense, find some substance in reality, is when I think about it in the context of a parent, whose child is grown and leaving home. Then I firmly believe, that you can take comfort in the fact that you’ve raised a strong, independent child and it’s time to let them go….let them fly and find their own path. But, contemplating it in the perspective of adult life, I find it slightly ludicrous. Why? Because….if someone wants out of a relationship, let them go without regret, not because you’re noble, but to try and keep them is pointless, cruel and ultimately not your decision. If you’re clinging to the theory that you’re not “good” enough for them…again the same principals apply. You aren’t capable of making that decision nor should you. Justifying your act on an assessment of yourself is self-depreciating, sabotaging, a theory filled with holes and misconceptions. So, in my humble opinion, the culmination of the adage is that it’s lovely SOUNDING. Instead, grab all the love offered in your life, feed it, nourish it, cherish and protect it… as the precious blessing it is, while it exists. (Please, don’t be offended. Like all opinions, this is merely …mine.)
