I came across a short video on the Internet, which was memorable, but also a little touching:

A TV host asked the audience what troubles they cannot forget.

One of the girls said: I can’t forget my ex-boyfriend, even after all these years… he already had a girlfriend a while ago… But I heard that they broke up recently, should I get him back? Or should I just let go?

After hearing this, the host and other audience loudly advised her: Just let him go! This person has already left you, he doesn’t care about you and he doesn’t cherish you. What is there to hold on to?

Then the girl said in a voice close to tears: But…he is unique and irreplaceable, isn’t he?

The host replied to her in a loud voice: He is unique, and you are also unique, you are also the irreplaceable one!

The girl on the screen had an emotional look on her face after hearing that…

Yes, there are too many people who, when in love, become love-minded, giving in and tolerating without limits, shrinking themselves smaller and smaller, only in exchange for the other person not cherishing them or running away…

For those who are open minded, they will turn around and let go and start a new life, but there are also those who indulge in it, causing internal friction and even affecting their health.

Is it true that genuineness is exchanged for heartlessness? Sometimes we only see one side of the story, but not the other. Could it be the self-righteous love we give is not the way the other person likes it? Maybe the other person also feels aggrieved?

If love is a shackle and pressure, then maybe being single or with another partner would make you more comfortable. So… There is no right or wrong in the relationship between two people, it is just a matter of perspective.

After experiencing these disappointments, we can somehow learn some lessons from them. It can also be considered to fight monster advanced, an upgrade.

You are also the only one in the universe, losing the other person may be regrettable, but the other person lost you, isn’t it the other person’s loss?

It is because the other person is not lucky enough to seize happiness with you!

There may be a lot of reluctance and unwillingness to miss or let go now… But, think about it in another way: if you free up your seat, the right person will have the opportunity and take the seat to stand beside you, right?
