For memories, a time for love and a time for letting go

Imagine if we all had perfect timing in our relationships. Well not perfect, but almost perfect. Imagine if the first time something went wrong or the first time we see a pattern of bad behavior from the other party involved, we could tell without a doubt if the problem is something that can be worked out or if it is time to put an end to the relationship. No one wants to waste time in a relationship that is bound for failure. 

It's odd how life works. It's true that there is always that one person that you just can't say goodbye to. It is also true what "they" (who exactly is this "they," anyway?) say-when one door closes, a new one opens.

So exactly why do some people hold on to relationships? Is it the fear of starting over from scratch? Do they feel like they cannot do any better than the relationship they are in? Maybe it is fear of the unknown. They know their situation is bad but at least they know the situation, but they fear letting go because they have no idea what awaits them out there.

It is not funny to me anymore on how things that hurt us the most usually seem so complicated, and we usually ignore the situation...and we always find ourselves with the same comfort.
