Something I'm Still Trying To Learn

When you love someone, love them deeply. Love them wholely and with everything you have. But be willing to let them go. Be willing to say that you gave them everything and only hope that they are better off because of it. Do not think you posses them. Humans are not something you can claim ownership of. They are not yours because we belong to everything around us. Each part of ourselves belongs to something else. So we cannot be controlled by one person alone. Know this, and be willing to let them go out into the world again. Love them, yes, but do not ever think for a second that you posses all of them. Do not let them think that either. Because that is what f***s you up in the end. To think you belong solely to one person traps you in that place. It imprisons your mind and does not let you grow. You become stagnant. You become unwilling to grow like a plant in too small of a pot. Never let yourself or your partner feel this way. Push them to grow. Let yourself grow with them, and if the time comes to separate, know it is only so you may both grow more. So love with everything you have. Love deeply. But never let yourself feel robbed of something if it doesn't last forever. Every relationship is a chance to grow, not a chance to be greedy.

I agree.

Love is the best and the worst day. Without knowing love. What do we become? Thank you for sharing the excellent story.

A wonderful wisdom into the new ways of relations in these times. Informative ...

You've packed a lot of wisdom into this small entry. It actually read like a piece much longer than it actually is. I guess it's because it feels as if there is so much that takes a lifetime to learn. Grow together... I like that.
