For the longest time, I thought if I could just show them how much they meant to me and how much I loved them, that would make them stay. I’d be sinking in quicksand, being so anxious about the ways they could leave me, that I’d just quickly try to reprimand them, when really I’ve known all along that it’s best to let people go. You can’t make people stay. What’s meant for you will stay. You can’t force love.
