When the good outweighs the bad they say it is time to let go. The problem is the little bit of good is so GOOD it often takes five million bad’s to equal one good. Could this be the reason one find’s oneself caught up at the intersection of “holding on” and “letting go” for so long? In the case of the “at the intersection love” each of these streets have their own potholes and faded lines. So when one has found oneself becoming an experienced “borderline lover” which road to take depends on the condition of the shocks on their car.
Let’s say you decide to stay on “holding on street” because you have invested so much time and energy that to pursue a new destination would make the street you’ve been traveling on just a waste of gas. This reasoning has some validity because no one wants to give up on something they have invested a lot of their time and energy in. On the other hand, if you are constantly stopping your car to determine whether the relationship is worth it you are wasting more than gas. You are missing out on new paths and wasting a lot of energy on something that still could be over 500 miles down the road.
So, you decide you value your car too much to keep driving it down a road that has been under construction with no sign of completion. You are scared because you don’t know if the road ahead will be smooth or bumpy, scenic or boring, or if you will ever find another person to ride in the passenger side. The unknown is scary, especially when it comes to matters of the heart, but the unkown can be fun.
When the bad outweighs the good you can never enjoy when the good outweighs the bad. Letting go is difficult but staying is experiencing difficulty over and over again with no promise of a different outcome. If you are sitting at the intersection not sure which way to turn look down at your gas gauge and ask yourself if you want to continue to drive down a dead end street or discover a new horizon.
