a word on hope and letting go, from a half alien

"People talk a lot as if the most important thing in life is to always see things for what they really are. But everything we do, every plan we make is kind of a lie. We're closing our eyes and pretending that the day won't ever come when we won't need to make any more plans.

Hope is the biggest lie there is. And it is the best. We have to keep going as if it all mattered, or else we wouldn't keep going at all."

"How do you let someone go? How do you understand that it's all right; that everything changes? How do you find a way for that to make you feel good about life instead of breaking your heart? The hardest thing you'll ever learn is how to say goodbye."

- "Taken" by Leslie Bohem
