Best Before Date

“It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.”

― Paulo Coelho, quote from The Zahir

So very true … if we don’t, we won’t be able to respect ourselves later…

Zahir is one of Coelho’s best books.. Coelho is one of the Latin American writers, whom I admire…

He is my fave too. I have most of his books. And Zahir ranks high in my
favorites. I must have read that 5x.

I like what you said about respecting oneself. We have to know when to quit, when to let go, when to walk away, and when to accept that something is over or gone.

I find walking away physically and mentally is easier than walking away emotionally, as therein lies the true pain of it.

@PhilDeep
There is a lot of truth in this.
Walking away emotionally doesn’t happen overnight. I find that it takes more courage and strong will to leave emotionally.

@CookieCrumbs I love too deeply to recover within years, or even decades, I found. Main reason why I've canned the idea of entering a romantic relationship ever again.
