Inner Practice: Let Them

Just let them

If they want to choose something

Or someone over you

Let them.

 

If they want to go weeks without talking to you

Let them.

 

If they are okay with never seeing you

Let them.

 

If they are okay with always putting themselves first

Let them.

 

If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be

Let them.

 

If they want to follow the crowd

Let them.

 

If they want to judge or misunderstand

Let them.

 

If they act like they can live without you

Let them.

 

If they want to walk out of your life and leave

Hold the door open and let them.

 

Let them lose you.

 

You are never theirs because you were always your own.

 

So let them

Show who they truly are.

Not tell you.

Let them prove how worthy they are of your time.

 

Let them make the necessary steps to be part of your life.

 

Let them earn your forgiveness.

 

Let them call you to talk about ordinary things.

 

Let them take you out on a Thursday.

 

Let them talk about anything and everything

Just because it’s you they are talking to.

 

Let them have a safe place in you.

 

Let them see the heart in you that didn’t harden.

 

Let them love you.

 

 

Some people come into your life to love you.

Some people come into your life to crush you.

And usually these people are the same ones that are capable of doing both.   

Embrace them all.

Be grateful to them all.

For they show you the magnificent beauty and essence of life.

For they stir up the deepest wounds and traumas that have long been sedimented for dressing and addressing.
