possession.

Some people believe that in order to continue to keep possession of the things that they own, they need to constantly make others aware of it and make a loud and clear shout out such that others know it is obvious that they are the owners, and are not to be messed with. As corny as it sounds, I subscribe to the belief/theory that, you are only the true owner/you only truly own something/someone, if you let the person/thing go freely, and it comes back to you.

Of course it's not that you give up things without a fight-

If a thing or person is of great significance/importance to you, you make that known, take your stand, and hold on to your right. But (as paradoxical as this sounds), you give freedom, you give space; you let things/people go, and if true, they would come back to you.

Some people think that that approach is too laid-back, or see it as being over-confident, or not taking life/things/people seriously. It is not a matter of attitude, or about having enough confidence. The thing is, I don't see much point in holding back a heart that has changed, or things that have been altered irreversibly. However much it would hurt, in the long run it would be better for everyone if things were let go. And also, more importantly, because to me, freedom is a prized possession, I don't believe in imposing restrictions on other people. Life has too many already-

Things should be good, and easy,

people should go with the flow,

take things as they come and go.

Whatever/whoever truly belongs to you, does belong,

and whatever no longer belongs to you, would no longer belong,

no matter how hard you try to hold on to it.
