Adults' Cultivation: Gracefully Ending a Relationship

People say most adults live in a state of collapse and suffocation, particularly carrying burdens hidden in their hearts.

I believe this: I myself have been living this way so difficult and struggling.

There's also a saying among adults – there's a kind of emotion that accompanies you for a chat.

I believe this too! For a considerable period, chatting almost became my entire existence.

I often write and advise others: don't seek attention from those who ignore you, don't abandon those you care about. However, I haven't done this, and I've done it quite poorly.

In my emotions, I always wait for disappointment and loss to accumulate, then reluctantly choose to leave with a heavy heart and a painful spirit.

I always hope for a moment to let go of the person I love but can't have.

Reality makes me bewildered and confused: there's a kind of love in this world that forces you to leave.

I often hit a wall and then understand that some relationships aren't love; they're an intrusion.

I always thought letting go of someone starts with unfollowing them, but it's actually about unfollowing, adding, then unfollowing again, and then adding again, until eventually, you run out of strength to delete.

I always wanted to hide my feelings for someone and love him for a lifetime. But I ended up experiencing the bittersweet flavor of loving someone desperately, wanting to give up, yet still clinging to him, driving me to the brink of insanity.

However, life became particularly monotonous. Those previously ignored emotions became increasingly difficult to suppress in an empty room.

In later years, things became sparse, leading me to take a resolute stance, you didn't try to hold on, and I didn't turn back. Such a life, each of us finding peace.

I eventually chose to accept my fate, telling myself that letting go of someone will hurt, and you must persevere.

The encounters in this world are always unexpected, and letting go is also part of it. Perhaps, in one moment, a person suddenly realizes and understands life. Seeing through the love you can't have, seeing the truth of love you can't have, and you finally let it go.

Then you start to calmly reassure yourself: don't let your persistence be mocked by waiting!

The best way to let go: don't expect!

In fact, a mature person's cultivation is about gracefully ending a relationship!
