~ My strength is made perfect in weakness ~

"Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go" 

I dunno who said that but I agree with it even when it threatens to constrict my heart. To say there is an 'iota of truth' in it would be an understatement. The fact is that the more you tend to hold on to someone or something that just isnt yours, you are setting yourself up for a massive disappointment. You may think that surrender is weakness...but sometimes surrendering to the inevitable takes a lotta courage. 

Letting go of something or someone requires strength, it aint that easy cus U know that by doing so U are going to pieces. U will require to draw upon every ounce of strength that's within u to combat that feeling of despair that threatens to mercilessly rip you to shreds. And that's where you win...that's where u proudly say 'it hurts BUT I'm letting u go...' If I hold on to u a min longer it would mean I dont consider myself strong enough to go on without u. I've tried...God knows I've tried but now I know its time to 'let go' 

A part of loving means learning to let go... making way for something better to enter our lives. 

So here's to the 'strong', the 'brave' ...the 'survivor'..here's to us! 

May we live with passion, love with intensity and let go (when its needed) with dignity!
