#holding on
Learning To Leave [detail]- Cynthia Sheppard
Why do we hold on
to those who have
already let go
In the meantime darlin I’ll keep on loving and trust that you’ll come back to me when you’re ready.
Everything else is temporary,
But no matter how much time or space falls, silent, between us my love for you will last on through those ages of quiet until I have you in my arms again.
-love, J.
you dont know how sick you were until you detach yourself from the environment that gave you the disease. you dont know how shitty you were treated until you let go of all the negative beliefs and habits that you developed. you dont know how strong you were until you realised that you have held on for so long and survived.
Why do you keep your love so hard to hold on to?
Mae, why so?
“We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily; we do not need to learn it.”
- Rainer Maria Rilke
You think that holding someone will bring them closer. You think that you can hold them so hard that you’ll still feel them, embossed on you, when you pull away // Rainbow Rowell.
