And don't try to tie anyone to you. Give freedom to everyone who enters your life to choose whether to stay or leave. And you will see that life is better. Simpler. More dignified. You are calmer because you are not holding anyone close to you. You don't pressure anyone to stay when it's hard for you. You live one day at a time, whatever happens. You see the beautiful in people, and when they show you another face, you know that with your honesty, they will leave on their own.
Let go. Nobody is yours. All you can do is make the people around you feel good. So let them choose. A smile costs you nothing. Nice word. A handshake. It costs you nothing to be a comfort to someone in need. A helping hand. Road sign. Because you are aware that you got all this yourself, so it is not a problem for you to give. It lives open to people who come, but also open to people who leave. Those who want to be with you will stay. Those who want to leave - will leave. All the wisdom of life is in that.
