Letting go.

Sometimes... letting go is what you need to do.

The heart you could never have, the mittens you lost in the cold, or the hand you'd never hold...

Sometimes, its easier just to let go than stretch for what is barely there to begin with. Dont stretch for what was never in reach... and dont struggle to carry the load you could never sustain. And its better to forget and leave in the past what may hurt the future.

With every new day, new month, new year, its a new oppertunity to turn over a leaf... and leave it all behind. Its just a matter of making it happen. The new you is just some motivation away. Its an oppertunity to make your life better... to get what you want, need and deserve. With your hands half full... and your baggage from the past trailing behind you, how do you expect to fill your life with wonderful things and accept the future? Its a sign you need to just let it go.

To build the courage to move on is a difficult task, as its mandatory to break down the wall built up of past filled with doubt, regret and snap the binding ropes holding you back... but it is a task that must be done. With faith, hope and desire as your sledgehammers, break down the wall, and build one stronger, brick by brick... building yourself something that can support you... seamless and perfect. Build your life, your dreams... and it all starts with shattering the past.

Don't let wandering thoughts hinder your building... and don't let the ghosts of your past haunt your new wall... as you walk down the road of life... it's now that you must leave behind whats been holding you back. It's now that you can start to recognize what is beside you and ahead of you, and realizing whats always been trailing behind... sometimes, its just better... to push forward and ignore what you leave in the dust. Were the past important; it'll catch up.

Leave nothing unresolved, so in your shattering... dig out all the pieces in yourself... and recognize problems or the ghosts of the past... and come to terms with them, or they will forever hinder you. Accept, forgive... but never forget, what history teaches us is history repeats itself, so in the end prevent the repeat, learn from our mistakes, and recognize our values. In leaving what holds you back, you must break the chains in which they hold you with. Resolve... and revolutionize your life.

Let go of what you're holding onto, and break the hold of what holds onto you. When you drop the burdens in your hands... in your hearts... in your baggage, you will walk worry free... your heart no longer heavy... your hands now empty and open to accept the change... and you will be able to run. Run into the future and grasp what you deserve. Get the future you want... it all starts with leaving it all behind.

Everything, but Nothing.

The Girl Who Has Everything, Yet Nothing to Love.

Everyday she wakes up to a family that pampers her. The breakfast made for her. And the day that awaits her. Her day is showered with her run ins with friends and acquaintances, and she appears to be the happiest and most popular girl in the world. More friends than fingers and toes, more admirers than body parts... what more could she want? She shops to no end, buys shoes, shirts and skirts... to fill that void inside. The luxury, the fame, the fashion and the friends, but is there love?

You can offer this girl shoes, but to her they are replaceable and plenty more at home. Offer her a meal and she will be full for but a moment. Offer her friendship and she will have one more contact in her phone book. Offer her love and she will be lost without an idea what to do and deny the one thing she doesn't have. What she doesnt realize is that is the love better than all she has...

In the material world, this girl has everything. Everything is perfect on the outside... but how does she feel on the inside? When you are the girl who yearns for "everything", think of what you're getting... think of how you will be the girl who puts a price on everything but never can find love... never values the love, because when its there, you seek the price of it.

Should you know how to love, know what love is... truly value love, feel love. Wish for nothing more. Love is what gives hope, faith and happiness, priceless. You can give a girl everything, but the one who has love, wouldn't trade it for anything... or would she.

The Boy Who Has Everything, Yet Nothing to Love.

He has friends, he's an athlete. He's the jock, the star, the guy with the nice car. The posse everyone loves to hate. The laughter, the mocking, the ever present popularity. He has the friends he can't trust, followers like Jesus himself, however is hated by the greater majority. Fortunately to him, they are but insects and he has the approval of those he finds important.

Materialistically he has everything he wants, everything he needs... in his eyes he has the world at his fingertips... but really what does he have? He carries on him the hate of those he bullies, he carries the guilt of the girls he's hurt... and so much more. Finds pride in the number of drinks he consumes, girls he hurts and insults he makes. His career is of no concern, because the moment is perfect.

But really... life is no popularity contest, and he has no one to trust, no one to love and overall the guy false tears will be shed for. To fill the void of love, he fills it with false laughter, alcohol and popularity. The guy everyone wants to be, but everyone hates... funny thing is? He ends up with the Girl With Everything but Nothing to Love.

What they make

They fill each others void of nothing to love with the false image of love. Fill the void with physical love. Give each other nothing but social satisfaction and give no value to each other. Picture perfect in the eyes of others, superficial, but their voids are still there.

You may not be the girl who has everything, or the boy who has everything, but everyone knows this relationship. The one where you try to fill the void of love with someone... someone who you don't love, but you seem to think they fit the image. The attempt to be in a relationship without love, is fooling no one but yourselves. If you cannot trust yourself, who can you trust? You will be in the end with nothing. As what is truly of value you have no understanding of... as what you need you have no idea until its no longer availible.

Being the boy or the girl is not nearly as bad as being in the loveless relationship. Sometimes a few sweet words and the most beautiful gifts have no meaning, except "Help me fill the void, and lets play a game; its called Charades."

If you're the boy or the girl... maybe its time to reevaluate that role... if you are in that relationship, maybe its time to evaluate the relationship. How much do you "love" them? Really.
