Letting Go

It is extremely important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut them loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Dont expect to get anything back, dont expect any recognition for your efforts, dont expect for your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle yourself. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance; but because whatever it is it no longer fits in your life. Close the door. Change the record. Clean the house. Get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.
