Have you ever talked to an old friend or an old lover and realized that you two are no longer on the same level? At first it may seem heart broken, but after the second and third conversation you ask yourself “Why am I talking to this person?” Suddenly you get this epiphany that there was an actual reason as to why the two of you stop talking in the first place! It’s life! Take it for what it is! Sometimes the memory is sweeter than the reality, and that is what makes the reunion feel so strange

For some of you guys, STOP living in the past. STOP holding onto it! Let him or her go! You are only holding yourself back, while the other person is living his/her life like its golden! In order for you to grow, you have to let him/her go! It may be easier said than done, but if it is, then you just might not be over it yet! You cannot keep dragging old feelings into a new season and expect peace. At some point, staying attached to what used to be becomes its own kind of pain.

People grow up and grow a part and its okay! Love them for who they are and not for what they use to be. You never know, maybe later on in life you two will meet again. After all this reminiscing, the real lesson is that not every connection is meant to last forever. Sometimes the best thing you can do is accept that the chapter has ended and keep moving. That does not erase what was real; it just means life took both of you in different directions.

I’ve read before, “If you hoard love, it melts away. If you lock love, it breaks free. If you grab on to love, you end up holding an illusion. When you let love flower in its own way, it stays to support you. When you pass on love, it multiplies beyond measure.” That is the kind of truth people need to sit with for a minute. Love was never meant to be trapped in fear or regret. When you release it, you make room for something better.
