"THE SECRET OF DETACHMENT"
by Tahlia Hunter

This is the secret to detachment:

Every person who chooses to enter your life

is their own person.

No person ever belongs to you,

nor you to them.

Whether or not

they are destined to remain in your life

is their choice

as much as it is yours.

And if they should choose to leave,

then you may trust

that you have learned all the lessons

that you needed to learn from them

and that your destiny lies elsewhere.

And if they should choose to leave,

then it is a gift,

for some people belong in your past,

not your future,

and them leaving is making space

for those who will choose to stay.

And though you may wish

that they were still in your life,

your happiness is never dependent on another person

or their actions,

and just because a connection came to an end,

that does not mean that you were wrong for loving that person

or being with them.

And though you may fear letting go

of this connection

because you feel that nothing will ever replace it,

change is the only constant in life,

and this was not your one chance at finding love

or being in a relationship.

And you may live your best life

regardless of who enters or exits your life.

And so you may let go of the tunnel vision

that you feel towards them,

for love is found everywhere in existence,

and you do not need this one person to give it to you.

And the idea that love may be lost

is an illusion,

for love is a part of you

and those we love

forever remain in our stories

and with us in spirit,

as on an energetic level,

separation is an illusion,

and so we are never truly grieving them,

only our attachment to how we feel things should have been.

But just because it did not last,

that does not mean that it was not worthwhile,

for there is no such thing as a failed relationship,

only two people who have outgrown one another

or whose paths are moving in separate directions.

And so you may let them go with love,

trusting that life will lead you to the places you are meant to be

and the people you are meant to be with,

but should you choose to,

you will always remain connected.
