Speaker 1: share with you on our daily podcast, Do Love. Hey
Speaker 1: it's Delilah. Hello, my friend, and welcome. Today we're going
Speaker 1: to be talking about letting go, letting go and letting
Speaker 1: love develop and grow and blossom on its own. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about not holding on so tightly, not
Speaker 1: squeezing the life out of real love. If you struggle
Speaker 1: with letting things be, if you struggle with holding on
Speaker 1: a little too tightly, stick around. You are going to
Speaker 1: love today's edition of Hey It's Delilah. Hi, good evening.
Speaker 1: You've called the Delilah Show. Who is this Hi?
Speaker 2: My name is Gloria.
Speaker 3: Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: Hi, Gloria, I can hear you. Welcome. How can I
Speaker 1: make your night more glorious? Gloria? Thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm calling because I want to make a request for
Speaker 2: my girlfriend. We've been like on and off arguing and
Speaker 2: just our relationship is kind of going in a direction
Speaker 2: that I don't want it to know.
Speaker 4: I don't want it to go because we loved just
Speaker 4: so much.
Speaker 1: Okay, And who is this for?
Speaker 4: This is for Nancy?
Speaker 1: And how long have you been together.
Speaker 2: Oh, we've been together for six months.
Speaker 1: That's not a good sign, honey, if the passion is
Speaker 1: waning after only six months.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we've spoken about it and I see how
Speaker 4: much he really cares about me and love me, and
Speaker 4: I don't want it to, you know, go away. I
Speaker 4: don't want our love Noway.
Speaker 1: So you know that chasing it, clinging to it, holding
Speaker 1: onto it, trying to to grab it is like trying
Speaker 1: to grab water, right, Yeah, until that the more you worry,
Speaker 1: the more you fuss, the more you try to grab
Speaker 1: hold of love and hang on tight with clinched fist,
Speaker 1: the quicker this thing is gonna come to an end.
Speaker 2: And that's what I don't want.
Speaker 4: I don't want it to come to an end.
Speaker 1: Then let go. Let go of the need to control it,
Speaker 1: let go of the need to fix it, let go
Speaker 1: of the need to squeeze the life out of it.
Speaker 1: Love is not like a teddy bear or a stuffed
Speaker 1: animal that you hold on to and squeeze for dear
Speaker 1: life when you're scared or lonely. It's a living, breathing thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your one hundred percent right.
Speaker 4: And I just want her to know that I really
Speaker 4: do love her.
Speaker 1: This isn't a matter of I want her to know
Speaker 1: I really do love her. What you want to know
Speaker 1: is that she really does love you and the way
Speaker 1: that you think that she should. That's what you really want.
Speaker 2: Well, she does show me a lot.
Speaker 1: I will play a song for your heart, and I
Speaker 1: hope that you're able to find peace and joy in
Speaker 1: this situation. Thank you, I do appreciate it. Hi, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Delilah Show. Who's this My name is Melissa.
Speaker 3: I have wanted to talk to you since I was
Speaker 3: like eight years old, and right now I was just
Speaker 3: inspired to call. And there's somebody at my heart and
Speaker 3: I don't it's hard, it's complicated.
Speaker 2: I met this guy and.
Speaker 3: We were really great and we live in different states
Speaker 3: and it's kind of hard. And we went six months
Speaker 3: and it was really great, and then I told him
Speaker 3: how I felt, and then it kind of was like
Speaker 3: he just left and went away, and I'm really like,
Speaker 3: I'm hurt and I'm sad, and I don't know what
Speaker 3: to do and I don't know if I should get
Speaker 3: over it or if I'm being tested.
Speaker 1: I got and.
Speaker 3: So I wanted to have a song for him.
Speaker 1: So is it over? As he closed the door on
Speaker 1: any future, I don't know.
Speaker 3: He's not really being responsive. He said he needs time,
Speaker 3: so I don't know.
Speaker 1: No texts, no calls, no I miss you. All right,
Speaker 1: He's it's over.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: But he did this before and he came back.
Speaker 1: I know. But why would you want to be a yo? Yo?
Speaker 3: You're so right? You know.
Speaker 1: If he's done this before and then came back, he's
Speaker 1: shown that he is not somebody that you can rely on.
Speaker 1: The kind of person you want to spend your life
Speaker 1: with is somebody who will be completely committed to you,
Speaker 1: who will be there through thick and thin. Who's somebody
Speaker 1: that you can count on and depend on. He's not
Speaker 1: that someone.
Speaker 5: You're right.
Speaker 3: I needed to hear that.
Speaker 1: What he is doing to you, in and out, off
Speaker 1: and on. I'm here, No, I'm not, Yes, I am no,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I want you. I want you. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want you? That is not love?
Speaker 3: And will you play a song just for me for
Speaker 3: me to heal?
Speaker 1: I will. I will play a song for your sweetheart,
Speaker 1: Stephen High. This is Delilah.
Speaker 5: What can I do for you? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm good?
Speaker 5: Who are you thinking of Jennifer.
Speaker 1: Who is Jennifer.
Speaker 5: Well, she's a friend that I kind of wanted something more,
Speaker 5: but you.
Speaker 1: Kind of wanted something more. So you're in love with Jennifer,
Speaker 1: but you don't think she's in love with you.
Speaker 5: I don't think she is.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Did did she say so much? Did she say I'm
Speaker 1: not interested? I'm not going there? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Pretty much. What happened was I had a crush on
Speaker 5: her before I do still, but for a very long time.
Speaker 5: And I asked her out two times and she turned
Speaker 5: me down two times. So I waited a while, about
Speaker 5: nine months or so, and I wanted to ask red again.
Speaker 5: So I wrote her a three page letter about how
Speaker 5: I feel about her and things about me, and I
Speaker 5: gave it to her finally, and she took it, read
Speaker 5: it and called me, and we talked for hours and hours,
Speaker 5: and they found out we have a lot in common,
Speaker 5: a personal he's matched, and it just so much was
Speaker 5: there and it was just so awesome. And we were
Speaker 5: talking one day and I said, you know, I'll call
Speaker 5: you back, said okay, And then when I did, I no,
Speaker 5: I got no answer. I felt something there, but you know,
Speaker 5: I guess it wasn't a two way street.
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like it was a two way street,
Speaker 1: and then she took the exit, the off round. And
Speaker 1: you don't know why. Maybe it's because you know, somebody
Speaker 1: else was in the picture before you. Maybe she's scared.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's stuff going on in her home life that
Speaker 1: you know prevents her from being available. You don't know.
Speaker 1: But what you do know is you did a good
Speaker 1: thing by being honest and vulnerable. So pat yourself on
Speaker 1: the back and move on down the road to light.
Speaker 1: If she's the one, she'll catch up.
Speaker 5: I hope.
Speaker 1: So good luck, honey, thank you. Hi, good evening. Who's
Speaker 1: this Hi?
Speaker 5: This is Rachel.
Speaker 1: Rachel, how are you tonight?
Speaker 3: I'm great? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm wonderful.
Speaker 6: I was wondering if you could play a song for
Speaker 6: me because well, lately I've been going through My boyfriend
Speaker 6: broke up with me and he told me if I
Speaker 6: ever wanted to be with him, I would have to wait.
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, I was just really down
Speaker 6: and the press and crying. Wait for what for us
Speaker 6: if we could ever be together again.
Speaker 1: Wait for what, like for six months for him to
Speaker 1: get out of the military, for him to graduate, or
Speaker 1: just you're supposed to put your life on hold. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: he figures out who he is exactly.
Speaker 6: He wanted to figure out who he was. And I said, okay, but.
Speaker 1: I really, how old are you? How old to see?
Speaker 6: I'm nineteen, he's twenty two. But I realized I don't
Speaker 6: even know what I want and I can't wait for someone.
Speaker 6: Then I can't be sad because I have so much
Speaker 6: more in life and it's not worth it to cry
Speaker 6: over someone and be depressed. And I have to get
Speaker 6: on with my life and be who I am. And
Speaker 6: like I know a lot of people will go through
Speaker 6: breakups and it's like they just realize that the only
Speaker 6: person that can make their lives better is themselves.
Speaker 5: I just have to hold on.
Speaker 6: Things will get better. It wasn't easy, but I just
Speaker 6: had to open my eyes and realize that there are
Speaker 6: a lot of things out there that can make my
Speaker 6: life better. And if it means moving on, you know,
Speaker 6: I can't wait for him.
Speaker 1: Let me play that song for you and everybody else
Speaker 1: who needs to reach that point. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: to live, thank you, good luck. I so hope you
Speaker 1: have enjoyed these radio moments as much as I enjoy
Speaker 1: bringing them to you. I'll share more with you each weekend.
Speaker 1: Hey it's Delilah. Do you do
