No matter how much we want things to stay the same, life is all about change. Sometimes change is for the better, and sometimes it's not. What this particular change brings I guess I'll have to figure it out because, no matter why things are changing, we need to be able to let go and move on.

I finally got to realize the hard truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward. The past is really not ours to recover but tomorrow is definitely mine to choose either to win and grow or lose and diminish. This phase of my life has become a necessity in order to experience personal growth and change.

"Every new day is the first day of the rest of my life."

A lot of things don't make sense right now but I guess that's the first sign to a new beginning. Understanding there are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. For me this is not "letting go" but rather "letting things be."

I always wanted to put in the effort to let you know how I feel but I can't make you stay and I'm only hurting myself if I keep chasing after who clearly doesn't want you. It's not giving up but it is letting go of what isn't mine which is what's best for me. I finally understood the true secret of happiness when I started taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

Everybody, everybody everywhere, has his own movie going, his own scenario, and everybody is acting his movie out like mad, only most people don't know that is what they're trapped by, their little script. A man does not really begin to be alive until he has lost himself, until he has released the anxious grasp which he normally holds upon his life, his property, his reputation and position. Maybe I finally became human cause to be human is to be broken and broken is its own kind of beautiful. We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.

I've learnt that when I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.
