Podcast Transcript: I think it’s brave. I do. How you never stop believing in other people. In their ability to change— to be better— to love you more than they do. I think it’s brave that you never seem to run out of space in your heart to fit in new love stories. To keep hoping. To keep— going. I think it’s brave. I think that YOU are brave. I do. But— I also want you to eventually realize that not everyone and everything that dances into your life deserves a permanent place to stay. Not everyone deserves— you. And you know that you only have two hands. And you can’t hold on to everything. You just can’t. And you know this— I know you do. But when you choose to hold on to the things that are trying their hardest to pull away from you, it makes it THAT much harder to hold on to the gentler things in this life. The delicate things. The beautiful things. When you are always fighting, your hands are always full of tension and your eyes are always distracted— your hands are trying like hell to hang on to things that maybe were never meant to be yours. And your eyes? They are ever-focused on what is leaving you. And not on what has stayed. So— loosen your grasp. Just a little. Nothing that is meant for you will get lost on it’s way there, love. Nothing.
