Relationships Come and Go

Our choice is not always to either let go of things or to cause them to change.  We do not always have an option about altering relationships, drawing closer to some and farther from others.  Sometimes our only choice is in acknowledging changes that happen despite us.  We are not letting go, but rather recognizing they are gone.  There may be alteration, but we have not caused it.  We can at best say it happened.
