Watch as it leaves

When you have something very precious, something beyond you ever imagined you could have, you want to keep it. Not being able to imagine yourself without it, you become possessive, insecure, vulnerable and protective. You put in a lot of efforts and never  feel how much of yourself you're giving away to let that thing stay in your life.

Till the time, of course when it starts to feel that you're trying too hard to keep it in your life. This moment, decides it all. This is where you realize all of your efforts are just to delay that "exit" a bit longer. It's going to happen anyway.

Same as holding sand in your fist. The more you try to hold it tight in that fist, the more it slips away. Because it was never meant to stay in your hands forever. You took it from the grounds and tried holding it in your fist. It's not that little amount of sand's mistake that it wants to slip away.

Decide whether you want to let it go yourself, or want to wait till it slips from in between your fingers.

Sometimes it feels life is nothing but a struggle to learn the art of letting go.
