Its not a lot but its life...


Preface: Take that! You misrable rat!

I can now ponder on something that has been on my mind but too afraid to contemplate too deeply about. We all know that life is a constant revolution. It is only predictable in its steady force to move us on. The force that we needed since it’s hard to let go of our comfort zone, something dear and familiar. Its amazingly difficult to face the fact that someone doesn't love you anymore, especially when you know for sure that you are the greatest thing ever invented. But apparently not to him :( Is he blind or just plain dumb as i'm now discovering all men are, according to uselessmen?

Whatever.



People say it takes amazing courage to put yourself out there and love someone.
And it’s harder to let go of someone you love. And it’s harder still to hang in there when the love is no longer there.



What is this? I get the first 2 sentences. But the last? WTF? Fight for the love that is gone? I know some people who are willing to hang in there even when their partner is doing hanky panky with skanks pretty bad things. Yes when you think about it, it is amazing (at least to me) some people can love so deeply that they can forgive transgressions that are, from my point of view, simply unforgivable. Being in love doesn’t mean you have to sell your dignity does it? Is this what it boils down to?

On the other hand, one friend thinks that “hanging in there” could simply mean holding onto the feeling not the person. Accepting the pain and all, letting things be. Moving on with life ;) and not giving up on love itself.

I do believe that it takes tremendous amount of courage to know when to stop loving someone. Not because the feeling is not there. But because maybe something is missing. Maybe the attachment is gone. Maybe there’s no more giving & taking. Maybe there no more reason to share. It could be the distance. It could be the annoying way he sings(don’t try to find reason behind the reason, it’ll only hurt you).

Simply take things in stride. Let life push you forward. Take 2 aspirin and keep out the children *winks*

I don't really understand why someone would hang in there when the love is gone either. Unless they were on their deathbed or something..
Have a good weekend..

i so understand what you mean. what's the point of hanging on when you're cleary not wanted and cast aside? what a loser that other person is.

rather than being the source of irritation and killing youself slowly and painfully, better concentrate on healing yourself and enjoy the beautiful things in life..

but easier said than done, huh? its okay. baby steps. :)

Luv Ya Cuz.

*hug*

Hey, I came to check out your blog after you stopped by mine, and see we may be in similar places. YOu happened on my demotivational posters, but scroll back a bit and its all about my separation. I'm with you, where is the virtue in hanging on when it's dead?
