When to let go in life and love

[msinvisible1]

Sometimes we hold on so tightly to things out of fear of the unknown. Think about when you ride a roller coaster.

If you are not an avid thrill seeker, you hold on tight to the harness because you are scared of that falling feeling. In life we are scared of that falling or shall I say failing feeling. The fear of what is yet to come, what could possibly be, the what ifs. I say it's time to let go. Hold your hands high, close your eyes and enjoy the ride.

I know it’s hard and scary to trust so freely. Just open your hands and let go! Who knows what you were holding could be replaced with something ten times better. Drop your stone and make room for that diamond, ruby, or sapphire that is waiting to take its place. There is nothing to fear, but fear itself and God has not given us a spirit of fear, but the Lord has given us power and dominion over giants seen and unseen.

Well my first thought when reading it was you were a young kid like in her 20's.. never married, etc...
So I was surprised by your age range.
The problem with that is what happens when your wife leaves you after 25 years together. More then half your life. You find out the woman you love more then anything on this planet never loved you? maybe never even cared about you? So your left trying to understand why that person stayed with you and had children with you. You were played for a fool for more then half you life and always believed what she said was real? that is my situation. So I have to second guess every single thing any woman says to me. I was made to look like a complete fool and an ass for so many years. It will take a long time before I will ever be able to let anyone in. I just finally go to a point where I am ok to date. but until I get back out there, that is the thought process I have. it will never change sitting at home so maybe I will change that stance... but it will take one special woman...

I do understand I was once married, and lied to and cheated on for more than half my marriage. I left him then he left the kids. So we all have our crosses to bear but we have to find the strength in us to conquer the battles we face. We have to be stronger and better for our children and our future. No way will it be easy, butthen again anything easy isn't rereally worth having. Find tour strength and continue to pray. Your best is yet to come.

I know and remember those feelings and emotions: before the fall, I usually want to tight to the bars, there is an inner fear which grows and grows just like when you are in a exam or another stressful event, then when the fall occurs, many emotions mix and during the ride, the fears, the anxiety, the worry become less and one gets relaxed.

Wow great take. Made me emotional as I held on way too long

[uuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

Love. You don't let go of anything you either do or don't. Who do you want to tolerate. The word Love is a form of manipulation. Yes you love them and feel for them but you don't love them. Who do you want in your life.

Sometimes I go out into my mother's garden and bury myself in dirt and pretend I'm a carrot. It really works.
