Be smart.

Know how to let go even those you love. This is the great law of detachment. When you hold onto a person for fear of losing your love, you lose more. Take a deep breath and let everyone be in charge of their own lives. Everyone belongs only to himself. Never try to change another person. Take it as it is, we are all different, but that's the beauty of it. What makes people close is not similarity, not false compromises, and not even a shared past. What makes people close is the sincere enjoyment of the difference. When you are not trying to remake someone, convince them or desperately stuff them with advice. When you just communicate with a person - like reading a book - you agree in some ways, in some ways you don’t, but it’s still so interesting, elegant and easy that you can’t tear yourself away. Unfortunately, in order to understand such elementary things, you have to pay a high price - to lose dear people. Therefore, be wiser.
