Set It Free

It's a seriously hard thing to let something you love go. But, you know the old saying "If you love something, set it free." It may be true, but when it comes time to set that that thing free, it's as if life throws you one of the sharpest curveballs. As soon as what you love is set free, you're either going to hit or miss.

A friendship is one of life's most sacred treasures. When a friendship is made, a special bond is weaved. Whether that friendship grows and roots deeper, is all an incredible miracle, but when it does, it can become the most important and most valued relationship of all.

When a special friend enters your life, the first reaction is this spectacular gem is to grasp on and hold on forever. But sometimes forever ends to quickly. Bridges are burned, barricades are erected, and stone and brick walls pile upon each other. This is the hardest way to end a friendship because it just hurts the segregated parties. Being on the other side of the fence is hard because the more time this wall is built, the harder it is to pull it down on the other side. The more time spent anguishing over this interference, the more pain is felt for the absence of this freedom.

To save this cherished treasure and not kill it with the massive amount of pain, set it free. Let it go its own course. If the strength is still there, it will come back.
