.. is the realization that you and those you love will grow up and, more often than not, grow apart. Growing up is learning to deal with it, and growing up is letting go. It is pain, anger, bitterness, acknowledgment, closure and healing, often in the same place and at the same time. It is knowing that what once belonged to you no longer does, and you must learn to let it go. That losing is painful, but you will lose time and again, and you must accept that because in losing you will find new beginnings and chances you never saw before. It is the shock of discovering the all too common knowledge that nothing is forever.
So, growing up is letting go. Yes.
It is slightly discomforting (okay, a lot), but I guess the best way would be to try and look for new beginnings. Easier said then done, yes.
ReplyDeleteThis is not about me, but yes, I agree. =)
