Sometimes It Is Okay to Let Go of Hope

Is it really worth the pain we put ourselves through? Sitting, waiting, hoping that they realize how perfect we are for them. We willingly lend ourselves to them, we offer them support in their darkest hours and as they chase their deepest desires. However, at the end of the day we are without them. Where are they when we need them to most? Probably no where to be found, or if we do manage to confide in them, well, we get one or two words of encouragement then that is the end of the discussion. Are our efforts in vain?

Why can't we just stand up for ourselves? Tell them that they are hurting us? Say what is really on our mind? Why are we so afraid to lose someone who we know does not care about us as much as we care about them?

"Someday, someone will walk into your life and you will realize why it never worked with anyone else." An amazing quote from an unknown source. I suppose we just tend to hope that each guy or girl we meet may just be that someone we've been looking for. Then maybe this behaviour is a good thing? If nothing else it at least shows us that hope remains and are not completely void of the ability to form emotional attachments to others. Whether it works in the end is irrelevant, or is it?

It is good to believe and keep that hope, but when we realize that it just is not what we thought it was, then maybe we need to learn to let go. Say what we feel and move on. Such a wonderful thought. How much pain will we put ourselves through before we just can't take it anymore? There isn't a better feeling than that of letting go of what hurts us. We need to look out for ourselves and remember that there is a very good reason as to why this isn't working.

Remember you? Work on that relationship and the rest will come.
