Art of Letting Go

“Saw myself lying in naked misery. But I stood up from the mud and see the beauty of letting go.”
Falling in love is probably the best experience that a human being could ever feel in his entire life. When one invests love to someone, he gone crazy, wild and sometimes become too irrational in some situation. Nevertheless, a person who is dying in love changes… It depends on how love alters him especially in times when clouds are circling in his mind.
	Love comes in the most unexpected circumstance. We never know that it comes in a sudden. Every now and then, we might find ourselves unprepared once it peevishly strikes us. However, love is too magical to explain. Too fascinating to tell anyone how lovely it is to fall in love despite of countless challenges along the way of insanity.
	We see light, magic, spark and blossom at top but love doesn’t always bring us to joy. Sometimes we need to deal with pain especially when we commit in a serious relationship. Arguments are usually normal but it gives a lot of heartache. Just like in a typical relationship, a couple tries to find ways to make things better to save the shaky relationship. If it works, then it’s a celebration! If misfortune happens, the only thing we could do is to let go. Wait a minute!? Letting go is a tough thing to do, right?
	It’s part of growing up to experience pain especially when we talk about breakups. We might see ourselves lying in misery, crying, and trying to pick the pieces of broken hearts in the floor. We could be miserable and moody at times but as what people say, “Time heals the broken heart”.  Maybe it’s quite long to experience the stages of grief but acceptance and letting go should always be the last resort.
	Amidst of seeing ourselves standing in darkness, there’s this I called spark of hope that will lighten our minds. A spark may be too little to look at but it guides us. It gives us hope to live and raises us up when we‘re despair. At the end, we will wipe our own tears and smile thinking our wounds would turn in to scars and will surely serve as lesson. Heartbreaks are not rare for human being. We have our own styles in forgetting and easing our pain. As time goes by, you’ll finally realize that you already moved on and ready to let go.
	Letting go may be essentially tough but it is an art seeing the beauty of pain in our hearts.
