walk away
Tuesday, August 07, 2007
i'm off to krabi in a few hours. i'm going there as a single, free, liberated person. will be back on 13th night. statistically speaking, i usually blog more when i'm overseas. so i hope i'll find a cosy internet cafe there to chill in and write.
i leave with these thoughts in my mind. got this off from someone's blog. i didnt seek permission to reproduce it here. i hope u dont mind, i want to share this cos it really helped me reached some sort of epiphany after reading it. here it goes.
"sometimes, you just have to walk away. i know, we all hate to fail, hate to give in, hate to give up and that we love the challenge of life and want to keep on until whatever we are trying to 'win' has been overcomed, vanquished, beaten, won. but at times, it just aint gonna happen and we need to learn to recognize those moments, learn how to philosophically shrug and walk away with our pride intact and our dignity held high. afterall - its not your fault on your part.
sometimes you really want to do something and yet it is unrealistic. instead of knocking yourself out, cultivate the art of walking away and you'll find that things will seem a lot less stressful. my friend, if a relationship is coming to an end, instead of playing out long and complicated - AND potentially harmful - end games, learn the art of walking away.
if its dead, leave it.
this really isn't a rule that ought to be in the relationship manual or a guide for dummies - its here because it is for you, to protect you and stop any unnecessary nonsense i'd say. this has nothing to do with 'them' but it all has to do with you. YES, you. if its dead, don't go digging it up every fifteen minutes to check if there is a pulse.
its dead, walk away.
you may want to get even - don't get mad, just walk away. this certainly is much better than getting even because it shows you have risen above whatever it is that has driven you crazy. and there can be no better way of getting even than to ignore something so completely that it can be left behind. you can cry, but just walk away.
i can go on forever and try to talk more sense into you. but that my friend, will be never-ending. therefore, just let go and walk away - show you're exercising control and that you have good decision-making powers. not just any irrational thinking or immature behaviour. you are certainly making your own choice than letting the situation control you.
yes, it really is dead. walk away."
