At the end of the day, what matters is whether he is worth
all the pain.
You will cry and lose a heart from time to time. Your pride
will be trampled upon, your dignity will be pushed aside, but think, suppose
you retain all these, will you be happy?
Happiness is a state of mind, it is not conditional. It is
not a question of who, and how, but a question of what. “What makes you happy,”
is more appropriate than, “who makes you happy”.
You decided to keep him not because he does make you happy,
but that having someone to love, being loved and be able to share your life with
someone special, do.
Striving to make peace is peace in itself. It is entrusting
your fate to your muse--- a mystical creature with the ball of your fate in its
hands.
Surrendering is trusting. Admitting that you need help is courage.
It is not cowardice. It is not a sign of weakness but of strength. No one
is ever called brave for fighting a fight that he knows will only have his
heart as casualty in the war. No one ever won a war if when he goes home, he
goes home to the wreckage of the furnace he had fought to keep hot.
The heart is a
furnace you try to keep burning. Love is a fight you need to keep winning. If the
fight would entail your furnace to die down to darkness, will the fight still all
be worth it? If losing the war will win you your heart, will you not surrender?
At the end of the
day, it is not him that you went after for. You surrendered for peace. You surrendered the pain, the rancid thoughts
of hate and bitterness. You surrendered to keep your heart whole, burning hot.
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as
spending our lives running from it.Only when we are brave enough to
explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ― Brené Brown
