This Is Me Letting You Go

Product Information

Apakah kamu akhir-akhir ini merasa kesepian? Rasa sepi ini ga cuma hadir saat sendiri, tapi juga di tengah keramaian, atau bahkan saat bersama orang-orang terdekat. Ada sebuah rasa hampa yang...

At the end of the day, you have two choices in love – one is to accept someone just as they are and the other is to walk away. There is no in between. There is no bartering, bargaining, expecting and falling short in love. There is just choosing to be there or to not. Anything in between is a tired, self-interested excuse for love.” Please delete my number because I’m not going to settle for your maybes. I want concrete. I want definite. I want people who call when they say they will and show up when they plan to. I don’t want to spend my life waiting for and wasted on a person who can only love halfway. I do not want your texts, late at night that say, Sometimes you're going to have to let one person go a thousand different times, a thousand different ways, and there's nothing pathetic or abnormal about that. You are human.” Because the last thing this world needs is one more indifferent person. If you're the only one left with passion, then use it. Use the hell out of it. At the end of your life, go out with a bruised-up, worn out heart that gave too much and loved too strongly and felt too fiercely.I had no clue before reading that this was the mastermind behind one of my favorite sayings: the people we meet at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people. Which I shared last year in my review for Rania Naim's All The Words I Should Have Said. Forgiveness means giving up hope for a different past. It means knowing that the past is over, the dust has settled and the destruction left in its wake can never be reconstructed to resemble what it was. It’s accepting that there’s no magic solution to the damage that’s been caused. It’s the realization that as unfair as the hurricane was, you still have to live in its city of ruins. And no amount of anger is going to reconstruct that city. You have to do it yourself.” If I were a female person in my late teens or mid-twenties suffering the pangs of an unhappy love affair I might find some kind of solace in this messages in this book. Being the one who cares less makes us feel cool and suave. But never anything more than that. It can’t even begin to compare with the excitement of meeting someone you are CRAZY about. Someone who lights up your day with every subtle interaction. Someone you cannot wait to see again. Someone you suddenly want to spend every waking moment with, even if that’s crazy and impulsive and happening way too fast. I know it’s a trial to be the one who cares more. But it’s also the most enthralling, fulfilling feeling and I’d like to urge you not to sell yourself short of it.” The right people don’t make you hmm and haw about whether or not you want to be with them; you just know. You know that any adventure you had originally planned out for your future isn’t going to be half as incredible as the adventures you could have by their side. That no matter what you thought you wanted before, this is better. Everything is”

Because the thing about loving you is that I’d have waded through an infinite number of Universes trying to find the one that’s right for us. The one that would have suited us, strengthened us, let us be the partners we needed to be for each other. There’s nothing more difficult than walking away from what we love before we’re ready to. Even when every fibre of our being understands that we must go, we want to stay. We want to linger. We want to find a loophole or shortcut that allows us to have it all. We forget that there’s a future. Some incorrigible part of us so easily forgets that there are good things ahead. Better things ahead, even.To love without expectation, you show compassion. You remember the times when you’ve lied and cheated and fell short of the expectations other people set for you, and you forgive yourself for them." For every fierce woman who’s tried to be tame, I hope you know— theres a place in this world for wild heart like yours. And the sooner you stop trying to fight it, the sooner you’re already home..” Love is wonderful and worthwhile and enriching but it should never be a standoff between the person and the life that you want.”

You have face forward toward the future you hadn’t planned for and the life you didn’t know that you would lead. ” what we forget when we say the timing's wrong," which is about how amazing it is that out of all the years of life on this ancient planet, we managed to occupy the same time and space as the people we love. with this perspective, there is no valid hemming and hawing about timing. if we want to make things work in the time that we have, we are capable of doing so. it's all about how much we actually want it. Because some people simply are not meant to stay forever. Some people come into our lives for a season, for a reason, for the simple purpose of showing us the world in a way we would never have seen it otherwise.”

I will never tire of having a collection that makes you stop to think its points over! Though I didn’t agree with all the sentiments shared, it was so refreshing to read pieces of writing I thought would veer towards the usual cliche, but instead, it surprised me by talking about various topics in a deeply relatable way that aligned with my beliefs.

none of us want to think of ourselves as works in progress. We want everything to happen instantaneously: Falling in love, falling out of it, letting go of what we ought to leave in the past and moving on to whatever comes next. We hate the in-between spaces - the times when we're okay but not quite there yet. I’m ready to accept that there may not be another Universe out there for us. And maybe that’s okay. Melepaskan sesuatu bukanlah proses yang alami bagi kita. Di dunia yang mengajarkan kita untuk mempertahankan apa yang kita sukai dengan cara apa pun, ada hal yang tak dapat kita hindari yakni ada saatnya bagi kita untuk melepaskan lalu melanjutkan hidup, dan itu terus-menerus kita pelajari kembali dalam tiap episode kehidupan kita. Melalui bukunya This is Me Letting You Go, Heidi Priebe mengeksplorasi kenyataan pahit tentang apa artinya melepaskan orang-orang dan situasi yang paling kita cintai, yang sering terjadi bahkan sebelum kita siap. But there are too many galaxies out there. There are too many fractures, too many splinters, too many moments where the roads diverged and the manifestations of our choices split into ten thousand alternate lives. There are enough what-ifs out there for me to get lost in forever, and I don’t want to spend my time chasing our cosmos anymore.

In a world full of dishonest people, you choose not to become one of them, even if that makes you lose a foolish game or two.” We have to be patient with ourselves as we move through the parts in between the where we've been and where we're going. We have to let the chasm motivate rather than dishearten us. It's okay to not be there yet. It's okay to be unsure of every step that you take forward. We don't talk about how moving on sometimes feels like we're fighting every part of our most basic instincts, but we should. We should talk about how growth is often every bit as painful as it is beautiful. of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars This Is Me Letting You Go by Heidi Priebe
