Let Go and Let Love?
Posted by Naudia Harrison on Friday, May 20, 2011
Love is an absolute... Either you do or you don't.. Just as someone cannot be moderately dead or half alive, one cannot be semi-loved.. This occurred to me when I realized I had to let my best friend go. I want to continue to love her but if she stays in my life I fear the love will be lost. You let things go when you love them because you understand it's for the greater good...
First, I had to give my cat back to the Last Stop Rescue people. I didn't realize there was a lesson in my saying farewell to Langston (yes, Langston). The lesson was: Sometimes the best thing for someone or something you love, cannot be given by you or through you. You have to let them find their own way... In Langston's case, I was giving him to people that could take better care of him.. He cried, I cried, but in the end, we will both be better for the experience and I will never forget the love Langston so freely gave (Another lesson learned).
After Langston was gone.. I had a feeling he wouldn't be the only one I had to let go. Sure enough, the NEXT DAY. My best friend and I decided our friendship had been exhausted... I'm not going to use this blog as a platform to argue my side of the issue because she isn't here to defend herself... I will just say "She and I should have never moved in together." PERIOD.
It's too late to turn back now but if she ever truly needed my help in the future, I would be there for her because I truly love her. Langston taught me a love that doesn't come with conditions... I cannot believe a CAT taught me the love of GOD (smh), HOWEVER, even GOD has a limit as far as what he will put up with. I don't love her less, I just love me more.. I need peace and I am sure she'd like peace as well... I guess :-)
I'd like to restate that, as one cannot not be moderately dead or half alive.... Or semi-free, no one can be loved in part. The concept of love is an absolute..
