knowing when to let go...

...is better than shoes. Here’s why.

I’m a persistent person. Some will say it’s because I’m a Gemini, they may be right... the fact is that I fight for what I want and, usually, I know what that is. I don’t just know what I don’t want, I usually know exactly what I want. And not only when it comes to shoes, usually I know what I want in life. But at times I have been wrong about what I wanted and I have fought to keep things going when they were clearly wrong for me, I have sustained toxic relationships because I was loyal and I have tried to fix things even when it was clear beyond any doubt that there’s was nothing left there to be fixed...

It is not yet time for New Year’s resolutions, but I think if I were to have one of those (and I usually don’t...) it would be to learn to let go... yes, it often feels like defeat but in life we often get defeated and not recognising it when it happens may only result to bigger losses. Knowing when to let go is wise, stop banging our head against a wall saves us from a lot of headaches and at the end of the day, when you know what you want and you are not getting it, let go, move on and open up to the possibility to actually get it somewhere else or from someone else... things are what things are and even me, with my endless persistence, I now know that in most situations we can change very little... and that very little has to do only with ourselves, never with other people...

So... don’t get angry, don’t fight it, don’t get sad... or... do get angry/sad for a moment but then just let it go... others... well, they are usually doing the best they can... it’s not their fault it’s not enough for you! It’s not your fault it’s not enough for you! There’s no fault! It’s just life... sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t and learning to let it go when the latter happens, can save us from a lot of pain... it’s worth trying, right? 😉
