Loss

   Loss, very rarely is this word used in a good way. Its more commonly associated with sadness, like the loss of a friend, the death of a loved one, or losing a game or competition. Everyone has loss in their life some more than others.
   I wanted to talk about loss because I feel like I'm pretty well aware of what loss is. I think that I've been through my share of lost friendships, and lost relationships in general.
   Loss is not easy, it hurts, everyday it pulls on you a little less or a little more but it may never completely go away. I know first hand the hurt that you can feel when your best friend walks away or when you lose someone closest to you, you never completely pull away from these connections. There is always a piece of you left with the person who is gone.
   So why is loss so relevant? Loss is relevant because everyday people die, everyday friends choose to walk away for any and all reasons, and people move on. You have to know when its time to move on, when its time to cut ties to the lost person and move on with your life. Life isn't about lingering in the lost moments but living in the present ones. So don't let loss hold you back to the point where you lose yourself. Don't let loss... win.
