I got into Taoism over a decade ago. It has taught me to believe that I cannot be truly loving if I cannot let someone go. Demand nothing. Give all. Thank you for the reminder.
It's interesting when you actually get put to the test to literally support someone in letting you go because that's what they feel is right in their heart. I've been there, we cried, but I assured her that it's okay without any bitterness whatsoever.
