Title: Letting go... good quote
Post by: Elsegundo on February 04, 2013, 12:49:33 PM
"... .  because to really let go of something means that you no longer hold onto the possibility that it might be fixed.  Not all things are worth fixing, even when it comes to love."

Today, I'm kind of missing ex.  So, I found this great quote after doing some online reading to share with anyone in the same boat today.   

(Repeats to self: nothing can be fixed here, nothing can be fixed here... .  )

Thank you, I keep wanting to 'fix' her even though she is with someone else

interesting quote

one of the things that stumped me the most was our supposed shared belief about love - we really liked the Corintheans - "love is patient, love is kind... .  "

We had it read at our wedding reception actually... .  I found myself trying to live up to that as we were in MC, I took on all the responsibility and blame... .  sometimes, there is nothing more we can do though. 

Letting go is all we can do - which feels sad when we love.

Reminds me of when my kids come to me with a toy that is broken in a way that can not be glued back together. The looks on their faces when I have to tell them it can't be fixed properly. Sometimes they play with what's left of it, using it for something else. Sometimes we acknowledge what a good toy it was, how fun it was to have it for awhile, and then in the trash it goes. There's usually a mix of emotions when that happens.
