Storms in My Eyes

The new year signals renewed hope and faith, sometimes even new beginnings, a time for reinvention, a time for putting it all out there, but this new year seems to be a little different for me, one chapter of my life seems to be closing and another just about to begin. I honestly have so much going on right now, that even I cannot track everything, I have found myself questioning my choices and decisions and maybe even regretting some that I made along the way.

I came by the quote that to know when enough is enough is the strongest form of discipline that one can muster, is it the same for relationships, what does it mean to settle? what does it mean to let go? I have pondered upon these questions endlessly over the weekend and I still cannot find the right answer, or maybe there isn't a right answer. 

Why do we stay in relationships? why do we try to find our soul mates or even our life partners? when the tears stop falling does that mean that we've had enough and that the love has all gone? Misunderstandings are supposed to be part of any and all relationships so where do we draw the line, or is it really just a matter of us choosing to understand even if it hurts, even if it tears us apart inside, when is enough is enough? When do we say that we have been taken for granted? Maybe it was foolish of me to give it my all and make him my world. We have been through so much together is that really something that I could let go?
