HOW TO LET HIM GO? Build A Bird Bath.

It all started three years ago. We barely knew each other, but one thing’s for sure – we are meant to be.  Patrick and I are two very different people. There is a saying “A fish may love a bird. But where would they live?” I smiled at the comparison because it’s fairly accurate. We are incredibly different people. He is the oldest in his family; I’m the second to the youngest in mine. He loves the city; I prefer the country. He loves junk food; I love healthy food. He despises school; I enjoy school; He want to watch in cinemas; I’d rather watch at home. I love to sing and dance; You’d rather not. I prefer flying; You prefer DRIVING. He loves to be with people, and I’d prefer to be alone (sometimes). I am goal-oriented woman, while he, on the other hand, is a laid-back fellow who always says “BAHALA NA” (come what may).

To put it simply, he is an extrovert while I am a little introvert. (Lol) :D Frankly, it sometimes amazes me that he and I even met — LET ALONE GOT MARRIED! :DDespite their many differences, the fish loved the bird and the bird loved the fish.

So we put our faith in that love and did the only thing a fish and a bird could do: WE GOT MARRIED AND BUILT A BIRD BATH. <3The bird bath is a symbol for our middle ground. The place where we come together — but it’s also the place from which we feel comfortable to let each other go. To “let go” of someone is to love them enough to let them fly or swim away (or to be themselves) and yet trust that they will always come back.For if we truly love each other, we have to be willing to “let each other go” to become the best versions of ourselves. Pat encourages me to keep swimming (develop my talents), and I encourage him to fly higher (chase his dreams).Real love tells me to let him fly and trust that he’ll always come back. I have to let him go so he can chase his dreams, pursue his education and develop his talents. Additionally, I have to let go of my fears that he might fly away and never come back. If the fish were to clip the bird’s wings, he would risk trimming his dreams and smothering him altogether. So, if you truly love someone, have the faith to “let them go.” Encourage them to be the fullest measure of themselves, and you will be overwhelmed by the love that your spouse returns to you.
