But in that clouded moment of self-measurement, we forget that to be given away is to reclaim the freedom we once anchored ourselves to on the person we handed ourselves with. We can now sail to a different place without the weight of the past, we can navigate a different perspective, unchartered and unknown- like a new adventure awaits. But this time, we are able to map out through our experiences those paths we will never cross again. It gives us a better judgment on where to maneuver our lives to find a better sanctuary, so that, finally when the fated moment arrives, we can safely hand our anchor to that person whom our hearts will call home.
