The ärt of letting-go

In the department of romance, the art of letting go, is mathematically proportional to the art of self-preservation. Letting go and preserving one self are crafts that can be mastered by people who want to get out of the crude and rude vicious cycle. These skills are the summation of one's conscious conviction -albeit prepared and punctured with nerve cracking and heart wrenching feelings - to be happy and complete to one's silence and solitude. Love makes the world go round they say and there is no remedy to love but to love more. Loving yourself more by letting go of someone who loves you less makes you a better person.

The reason why many people live in an unhappy life is because "the unhappy people have not truly and exceptionally love themselves." They have killed themselves by loving others and forgetting that they have their own life to live and love.

All problems can not be solved, but can only be managed. Problems concerning the affairs of the heart can not be remedied right away. Letting go is part of problem management. Many suffer from broken-heartedness because they do not want to move on. Why hold on your love for someone who will not love you? If the love of your life has another love already, please be brave enough to penetrate the deep and depressing recesses of your life or else you'll be broken-hearted. Empower yourself. Tell yourself that you will only love him/her until the day he/she loved you. Remember, no one has the monopoly of power.

The art of letting go starts from the ultimate conviction that you love yourself more and you believe that you don't deserve to be hurt. After all, happiness is a personal responsibility.

If you're into a relationship, and you continually hurt each other, it comes to a point when you have to make a decision whether or not love is enough to salvage the relationship. If hurting situation is recurrent, have wisdom to know when to hold and when to fold. If you come back to each others arms again, and hurt each other again, love becomes self-defeating, an exercise in futility.
