There's no harm in letting go.

I've loved and let go. I only hope they've gotten as much out of it as I have.

When I was a kid I was motivated by freedom.
As a teenager I was motivated by money.
In my 20s, it was women.
By my 30s it was failure.
Now it's whether or not I'll be in bed by 9PM.

Self realization.

I thought if I surrounded myself with a certain type of people I would become more like them. I didn't.

You can't change the nature of the beast.

I haven't thought about you in years. There was no need to.

But I saw your sister had passed and I hoped for that fleeting moment you were doing well. And you have a daughter.

Love evolves over time. And though I no longer love you like how I did before, I care for you as one human being would another.

Be well.

Live in the moment. But when it's over, it's over. Don't dwell. Prepare to live the next moment instead.

What's in bold is good advice.  But I sometimes struggle with the "Don't dwell" part.  For myself, when I'm heavy in a moment, my mind is engulfed and dwells in that moment.  It's like I'm frozen, and it takes a couple of invisible self knuckles to the head to wake me up from that moment.  It takes awhile to move on.  But once I wake up and set my mind to moving on, I move on.
