Sometimes we get so scared we hang onto someone or something we love too tightly. This is an illusion created out of our fear. We can’t hang onto any relationship. Unless the other person wants to stay with us then they will walk away. Perhaps it’s our job that has stopped working for us. It’s causing us too much stress or we are losing our friends and family. When things get like this it is more beneficial for us, and others, to detach with love. That means we start to look after ourselves first. It isn’t selfish to do so. It is a healthy boundary to have.
