Time passes and everything begins to become different from before, people change, others leave, environments take other forms, the world is renewed and, in the middle of everything, we are left trying to balance ourselves in this tightrope that is life.
Perhaps because of this ever-changing, ever unpredictable exterior, we try to keep things close to us, as if we need some coherence in the midst of this ever-shaking life.
“You must learn to get up from the table when love is no longer served. -Nina Simone-
Unfortunately, if we focus on things and people, putting the full burden of responsibility on our balance, needing everything to remain as and where it is, always, in any case, chances are we’ll be doomed to great disappointment.
There will be times when everything that seemed right will collapse and nothing will ever be what it was again, and no one will ever be what it was again, because then to survive we will have to leave, we will have to let go. , whether it’s the moments, the things, the people, the feelings.
We will have to realize when we are no longer part of certain places, when we are no longer needed, when our presence is not required, when our love no longer finds emotional ground with those who escape our gaze.
Because there will be environments that will be better without our presence, there will be people who will want our distance, there will be lives that will leave without problems.
In fact, even if it takes time, we will eventually come to the conclusion that everything that does not ask us and all those who no longer call us will not fail at all, because what does not bring reciprocity is not successful, does not flourish. , nothing offers or adds. .
We will be much better off than we have not really received, many times, even, our withdrawal will be providential so that our absence clarifies the importance we have, making us stronger with what was uncertain and is no longer.
As you can see, although we are very reluctant to give up certain things and some people that we consider essential, we must take the attitude of moving away from what has already overflowed from the wrong side, of what suffocates and extinguishes our smile, of those who barely touch us. he perceives and cares little, eventually he will save us from wounds and anxieties, for this is how we will regain our self-esteem, so that we can value ourselves above all. it strengthens us and passes us; Suffering without having the courage to leave what causes pain diminishes us and has no end. The choice is ours.
