the art of letting go

“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”  - Nicholas Sparks

I've been to the moon and back, thought I had it all. Simple and happy life is what I've always been dreaming of. But still reality bites that we can't always have the things we  ever wanted. Uhm, nothing much to say today. Just overheard this song in the office this morning. A very sad song perfect for people with unwanted baggage. Some people are lucky enough to find their match who can help them unpack. Envious. We have to realize that we have no control on others, but ourselves. And there's nothing more in this life that we could do but to accept everything and to be happy, effortlessly. To find peace, love, friendship, care, comfort, purpose and the bliss of our existence. Just be thankful for all the blessings we receive each day. Even if it means that the only thing we should be thankful for is our very own heartbeat. 

The Art Of Letting Go 

By: Mikaila

OOOOOOHhhhhhhhhh 

Put away the pictures. 

Put away the memories. 

I put over and over 

Through my tears 

I've held them till I'm blind 

They kept my hope alive 

As if somehow that I'd keep you here 

Once you believed in a love forever more? 

How do you leave it in a drawer? 

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all 

Unchain my heart that's holding on 

How do I start to live my life alone? 

Guess I'm just learning, 

Learning the art of letting go. 

Try to say it's over 

Say the word goodbye. 

But each time it catches in my throat 

Your still here in me 

And I can't set you free 

So I hold on to what I wanted most 

Maybe someday we'll be friend's forever more 

Wish I could open up that door 

Now here it comes, the hardest part of all 

Unchain my heart that's holding on 

How do I start to live my life alone? 

Guess I'm just learning, 

Learning the art of letting go 

Watching us fade 

What can I do? 

But try to make it through 

the pain of one more day 

Without you 

Where do I start, to live my life alone? 

I guess I'm learning, only learning, 

Learning the art of letting go. 

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 

hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
