"what is tragic is when a wild spirit becomes trapped...for one day, it will be freed; but when it is, it will run faster, harder, longer, and further than if it had simply been free from the beginning. that particular soul should be free to roam, and anyone who tries to stop it will be hurt, despite its own will. do not stand in the way; if you love it, let it be...you must be strong and secure to know that it cares for you, but you must not be weak and dependent on the confirmation of those feelings."
If anyone can give me the author and the source, I'd be very grateful! Thanks!
