A beautiful excerpt from a favorite author:
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end . if we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the hapiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatver name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished...
None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, when we try to understand the things that happen to us... things pass and the best we can do is to let them really go away...
That is why it is so important (however painful it may be) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts and getting rid of the memories also means making some room for other memories to take place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them.
Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promiseed but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the ideal moment. Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could not live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or
arrogance, but simply because...that No longer fits your life, shut the door,
change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you
were and .. be into, who you are.
"CLOSING CYCLES - Paulo Coelho"

maybe it is foolish to wait for the right time to let go..maybe the time should be now. I have cradled this bitterness long enough to drown myself into my sublime loneliness..i have not realized that it was killing me emotionally. the nights that there was only one person in my mind, was thoroughly depressing . maybe we all come to a point where we feel that nobody really cares, if you are waiting or not, if you are crying or not, or if it hurts or not.. i think i have begun to stop and think that this is over and i need to breathe.
