Some people love conflict and love the blame game.  Walk away, as the battle they are fighting is not with you-- it is with themselves. Realize that some people are removed from your life for a reason. So think before you chase after these people.

Being strong doesn't mean fighting the battle. Being strong means being able to walk away with your head held high. Being strong also sometimes means being silent. Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing. Some people are not even worth your words. Silence is powerful. Those who love to battle don't expect silence. They expect words, motion, offense / defense, and back / forth. Silence speaks when words cannot. Have strength to walk away-- and have strength to stay silent.

Being brave is not the absence of fear or being unafraid. Being brave is having fears and doubts but despite these feelings, you live, love, and laugh. Being brave is knowing that things will change one day. Being brave is landing on your feet and continuing to strive for what you want again and again. Being brave is loving even though you've been hurt or betrayed. Being brave is believing in the power of love. Being brave is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who hurts you.  Being brave is when someone keeps having to say they are sorry and you stop believing them. Being brave is to say that you are not sorry and walking away. Letting go, moving forward, and being okay is being brave.

There are times in life when people must know WHEN to let go. Balloons teach us this. Sometimes you have to let things go. One of the happiest moments is letting go of what you can't change-- and that is sheer courage. This is one of the simplest things to stay happy-- letting go of the things that don't make you happy. So, surround yourself with people who LIFT YOU HIGHER, like a balloon.
