let it go

I'm really coming to realize that I have no control over the people in my life. There have been several situations lately where I've given up on a relationship entirely, only to have it restored. The harder I try to make things happen and the more frustrated I feel, the worse things get. There seems to be some magic in giving up and letting go; it seems to be at that point that things start to work themselves out. There's no real message here, just this: I'm starting to accept that I'm not in control. And that is a good thing.
