The art of letting go

Grief is such a strange thing. It's a feeling that is so complex and hard to explain. Maybe the biggest thing about grief is that you have no control. You lose someone and you can't hang on to them, they are lost to you and there is nothing you can do about it. It is probably the only situation where you can't do anything about this thing that happens that you really wish didn't. 

The art of letting go. Acceptance. Accept that the world has its way and will sometimes have its way with you. And these heartbreaks teach you things and help you shrink your ego. 

You may know the song: You can't always get what you want, you get what you need. 

Count the blessings one by one. And although you don't always get what you want, you most certainly sometimes get what you want; if you put your mind to it, the time is right and it's good for you. Now there's another blessing to be counted.
