Let go and move on!

There comes a time in our life when we need to make a choice: either let go and move on or hold on and settle.
We find ourselves in these situations sometimes in our personal life, sometimes in our career or maybe in both.
Well, I've been in both. When I had the choice of either holding on or letting go I chose to let go. I won't lie, it was hard and that was probably because, for once, I chose to do it all on my own. I figured it was the only way to prove to myself that I am strong.
Why let go and don't stay and fight some might ask.
Because one day, after all the compromises, after all the times you tried to fight for what you have, you realize you're not happy anymore. Because, let's face it: when you're fighting on your own, you need to let go. Yes, it's difficult letting go of everything you once had, but it's for your own good. It's so that you can grow and be happy again.So, I made my choice, packed my bags and moved on. It wasn't for a while that I found myself, but when I did I realized that I wasn't happy for a long time.
I had all the time in the world just for me. Yeah, I know. I sound selfish. But when you find yourself escaping a toxic relationship, you enjoy every little thing. From the sound of silence or the blue sky above, to the madness of a world you never saw before. It's difficult to admit that my beautiful love story wasn't a fairy tale after all. But I chose to see it as a chapter in my life.
Although my choice was made based on my personal life, I chose to reinvent myself on every level.
So, I found a new job and  moved to a new city. After more than one year, I'm still discovering things about myself.

Introduction

We write. Why? Because we often search for answers. Because we try to figure out who we are and we believe that if we can put our thoughts onto paper, we get closer to our goal. People kept journals since they first learnt to scribble symbols on cave walls. We will never know if they wrote for themselves or for those that were to come. We write stories, novels and poetry. We write love notes that we scatter across our home for the ones we love in hope that the little note will brighten their day.We sometimes write things that we would like to hear, or things that we hope will never see the light of day (I think this is what they say). Sadly, nowadays, the genre I love the most, poetry, rarely gets published. And why? Because most of the lyrics are now songs. Because few of us choose to read poetry instead of listening to music. I won't deny, I love music. I love putting my headset on, turning the volume up and just get lost in the rhythm. But I still need the book with ...

Wrong place, wrong time

We fall in love. And when that happens it feels like we can conquer the world. Sometimes, life is toying with us and gives us an amazing love at the wrong time when we fall in love with someone who was ours for a while, but not the way we would like to. You fall in love with your best friend, the one who stood by your side, the one who has seen you at your worst. The one who held your hand as you were getting back on your feet. So, you find yourself hoping that the one whose kisses you crave loves you back. But even so, who are you to interfere in another love story? Even if they seem unhappy, it's not your place to make their choice. And you keep your distance, even if every time you meet and talk it kills you a little bit inside. You learn to tame your wild heart and keep appearances, until... something changes. He's telling you he's not happy and he wishes to be with you. In that moment, the whole world stops and your heart skips a beat. You start hoping that you ca...
