When Do One Say, "Enough Is Enough"?

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

What is the demarcation line that separates will, persistence and obsession? When do you say it's over? When do you say enough is enough? When do you give up and just let go? When do you muster enough courage to face reality and not dwell into the web of fantasy that you have spun inside your head? When do you stop pretending that everything's going to be alright? When do you surrender to the fact that no matter how hard you try someone can never be yours? When do you put a halt to your wishful thinking? Again, when do you say enough is enough?

It is crazy how sometimes when you know that you are serious about something, willing to give up everything, more than willing to sacrifice all that makes you happy just to be with someone, if it's not meant to be, it's really not meant to be. Swallowing the bitter pill is hard but you have to learn to appreciate the taste. It's bitter but in time as the memories and the good times fade, the pill becomes sweeter. In this kind of situation however, you would still choose to taste the bitter pill, enjoy its taste, making your tongue more familiar with the sad reality. How can something so wrong feel so right?

What do you do when you think you could make a difference in another person's life? Would you just let that someone slip away? When do you turn your back from the thought of what lies ahead? When is stopping the best thing to do? When do you enjoy staying in your shadows? When do you stay and watch your tears just fall? When do I say, enough is enough?
