Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

Just reading through your posts. OMG this one is SO true. I'm living proof that this can happen. Everyone wants to be loved...but sometimes that love suffocates and you have to set away in order to survive. Adria
