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..
