eros the bittersweet

bits and pieces part two

If he is already letting you go – then fly away. Whatever his reason is for saying this to you or doing this to you – do not seek to learn any of it anymore. You will end up diving into the abyss one more time. You have lost yourself far too many times already because you have kept yourself clutching the knife’s edges. Again, I am not saying it is bad, I have done that before – all I am saying is that you have to allow yourself to dance to your own beat now – you and him do not hear the same music and do not move to the same cadence anymore. That’s harsh but that is the truth – and I bet that in 10 years you would not want for your life to flash before your eyes and come back to smack you in the face. :)

I have read somewhere that: life can take away happiness, but it cannot take away having had it. Cherish the good and the hurtful moments – they were given to you because they’d make you grow - so do not be the only one holding back your growth now.

Focus on the now – or better yet – refocus your vision to yourself – and what you can do to make things better. I am not one who easily lets go of things but we have to wisely choose and consider the things that we hold on to and the things we let go of. Concentrate on what is essential and is necessary. For the longest time you have built your universe around him and left your own garden to allow the weeds to grow. Now is the best moment to go back and pick your pieces up and unroot that which keeps on hurting you.

Sometimes we are looking for the light in the wrong places. Sometimes we curse the darkness because we haven’t fully realized that we are capable of lighting our own candle.

Steady hands take the wheel – take the challenge of being on your own (yes, given that you are suddenly without that someone) while you know you can – do not let it slide. If it has gone and you are alive, you didn’t need it. It’s all part of your emotional evolution.

No one ever said that love guarantees bliss – take the pain because no one can and will take it for you – which is why you have to square your shoulders to the world and just exude that 'can-do' attitude – because you know you are able to and because you know you deserve better.
