In the strangest, most inexplicable way, we need those lovers that we never fully let go of.

Because each one of them represents a whole entire world within ourselves.

A world we aren’t ready to let die. We aren’t ready to abandon. We aren’t willing to let go of completely.

At least, not yet.

Not yet

Letting go is really hard, especially when you have to let go of something you really want, whether it’s an opportunity, or someone you really liked or loved, or even any expectations you had about something.

What is destined will reach you, even if it be underneath two mountains. What is not destined, will not reach you, even if it be between your two lips.
—Proverb

There is power in letting go, a power that brings more peace and serenity than being stuck in situations that make your heart a bit heavier each and every day.

I think part of the reason we hold on to something so tight is because we fear something so great won’t happen twice.

Here’s another reason why we hold on to things or people longer than we should. We convince ourselves that good things won’t happen twice; we will not be able to find someone who is that great again or who makes us feel this way again. Or we won’t be able to find a job like that again, or something we are that passionate about again. The truth is, you will always find something or someone that makes you feel this way again, new passions will emerge and good things will happen twice and as many times as they want, and will probably be a better and more convenient fit for you.

Someday, you will look for someone

who resembles me

and on that same day

I will be with someone

who doesn’t resemble you at all

Maybe we meet the right people at the wrong time

because we wasted the right time with the wrong people

You don’t deserve someone who comes back

you deserve someone who never leaves

Love him the way a woman loves

and forget him the way a man forgets

she was a woman madly in love with someone

who didn’t love her back
