Let Go Your Broken Heart!
December 31, 2007 by dontdatethatdude
It’s New Year’s Eve. A time of Endings. A time of New Beginnings. A time to blog about resolutions, but I would like to talk about letting go of the past fully so we can allow the new to usher in. This can be bring about great sorrow and regret, because we like to hold onto our pain. Pain can be a comfort. Pain can become a place to lapse back to when moving ahead makes us afraid. I think we grow accustomed to pain, like a little friend we can call up when we want to assure ourselves we are still feeling. Pain is the bastard we are used to and joy is the one who got away.
Joy is the one we can never get our arms around. We dwell in the past ruminating on how we could of, should of done things differently even though we know we can’t change anything now. We hold on instead of accepting what is. We, all of us, have an inner control freak who thinks it can change circumstances, change other people’s minds, make someone love us, even if they don’t, and it is the control freak who gets us into trouble because it won’t let go. I say don’t listen to it anymore! Not just as a New Year’s Resolution, because we all know how long they last, but as a life long dialogue you have with yourself whenever you think you can change another person’s mind or behavior. Remember it is just a voice in your head!
Can you relate to this?
Do you think that you can make someone else love you?
If you do, just think about a time when someone loved you and wanted you back, but you were no longer into the relationship was there anything they could do to make you love them?
Sometimes we just have to accept that we can’t make someone love us, if they don’t!
I guess we all just want the same things: to be loved and accepted.
I would love a mutual respectful love. I don’t want to make anyone love me …I want something genuine but mostly I think loving myself is the way to attract love.
Wishing you everything you wish for yourself this upcoming year!
I agree with you Rachel, loving yourself is the best way to attract love. Thank you for your comment and I wish you as much as you could imagine for yourself and more! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I agree with you, you cannot force someone to love you, but it’s flattering when you know someone loves you, even if it’s not mutual.
I soooo agree with this post and definitely something I was relating to today….Onto things great in 2008!!
Modobs! Happy New Year to you too! Yeah it is flattering when someone loves you, but I think it’s hard when it’s not mutual because you know how they feel, but you just can’t feel it back and you know they are hurting!
Houston: Yeah 2008 will be a marvelous year! Happy New Year to you!

Veronica: Yes I will read it. Thank you!
