This week has just been very stressful... for a variety of reasons. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how much you love someone... or how much you want situations to be different... sometimes there is only so much you can do. People; being individuals... have to make their own choices... even if they don't align with yours.... even if they don't make sense.... even though you may wish their choices were different.

I have to reconcile myself to this whole idea of letting go... of everything... and it's hard. And short of ending up on an episode of Jerry Springer... I don't see things changing... even if I wish it to be so.

And so... I must move on. ...and it's hard.
