A lot like Love

Let us always remember that we can only move on if :

We accept the things that we fear,
Learn the things we don't want to know..
and let go of the memories we can't live without.

Butterflies are a lot like Love


It will flutter around, in search for that perfect landing spot, ever so keenly positioning itself to touch down. Going through a maze of its own before it finally decides to take itself down. How long it takes to settle down, we can never tell..


But once it does..
Oh the Joy, the Joy, the Jooooy! It's presence ignites you from within and sends you roaring with glee that finally, something this magical has chosen you. And although you are but uncertain of how long you get to keep it, you still wrap yourself with every bit of shudder you feel from the roots of your hair, down your gut to the tips of your toes..

And that's when you allow it to sit.. Allow it to "do its thing", make its mark and almost always, as light and heavenly it touched down on you, it could very well alight you leaving with a massive ton like you wouldn't believe. And when it decides to take yet another flight, there is really nothing more you can do but let it flutter its destined course. You cannot deny it of the other flowers and fields and, hearts, it could land on..


No point in gripping it to stay. It should never be about possession. If you like the moon, you can't just take it down and put it in your basin. It should already be enough having the moonlight shine upon you. It is no one's fault that it has chosen to flee, be gentle with yourself and smile that it happened. Most people live their entire lives without knowing how a magic such as this actually feels like and the fact that you do, even with it leaving you, it is never a waste. It remains a cherished memory you will have for always.


It's one of the most magical and unbelievable things in this world and it should only be enjoyed and rejoiced for! But once in a while, it dawns on us that it simply cannot stay with us. Hence, we let go and we leave it be. Hoping that it has been enough for us having it in our lives when we did. Hoping that everything works for the best. Hoping that one day, we will again be greeted by that amazing touch from heaven to transcend us once again to that sublime place where everything is rosy and red and everyone is glowing like peaches.


The bravest thing we can all really do is Move On. It will not be a pleasant phase but it is the surest and most sensible path to healing. Accepting the facts, no matter how cold and vile and cruel it may be, is the only thing you can really do after going through a loss. It's learning to see things for what they truly are, surrendering to what has happened and embracing its entirety for all it can ever be. It's never going to be easy but it has to be done. Acceptance. Healing. Moving On.. It all needs to be done. And they all have Time as their best ally. Although I don't think that time will make you accept, or heal or move on, I believe it will give you perspective. Perspective to fully gauge what the hell is going on and perspective to find your balance when you feel you're almost tipping to your doom. And it is in these times that we grow, we learn, understand why we loved and why we have to keep living.

And more often than not, the best way to keep someone, is to let him go.
