Also I learnt that I have a long ways to go on rockier roads. I only hope I can be strong enough, and that you will give me something, anything to grasp on anytime. 

I should give without expectation, how did I forget that again.

Let things flow naturally. Resistance is the mother of all frustration. And I was truly frustrated for the entire past week. I should loosen my grip, and if it's meant to be we will see each other at the end.

You don't suffocate a rose by holding on to it tight, the thorns will cut you, and it won't bloom. You help it grow by cutting away the obstacles in it's way to light and  clearing as much space as possible around it. Even if it means cutting your hold on it. It will hurt, but that's life, and the life you chose.

The rewards will be magnificent, it will smell like a thousand perfumes and look breathtakingly beautiful. It will be worth it. 

Everyone who tends to a rose knows this. They thrive in the wild, and that's because they are free.
