LOS ANGELES, April 11 (UPI) -- Khloe Kardashian appeared to address her relationship with estranged husband Lamar Odom in an emotional post Sunday on Instagram.

The 31-year-old reality star penned a cryptic message about love and letting go after sharing a Deborah Reber quote from the book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul.

"Letting go with love takes great strength," Kardashian wrote. "We have to learn to stop taking on peoples problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back."

"Stop shattering your own heart by trying to make a relationship (friend, family, partner) work that clearly isn't meant to work," she advised. "We have to stop trying to repaint people's colors ... You can't love someone into loving you."

"Sometimes the person you want most is the person you're best without," the star said. "Don't lose yourself by trying to fix what's meant to stay broken ... Don't put your happiness on hold for someone (family, friend, partner) who isn't holding on to you."

"Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself." Letting go with love takes great strength. We have to learn to stop taking on peoples problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back. Sadly, You can only express your opinion on a situation. You can't want their life more than they do. This is in fact their life to figure out on their own and in their own time. I do believe in timing. I do believe timing is everything. You forcing your beliefs and dreams down ones throat is only going to cause resentment and possibly manifest deeper issues. Possibly to the point of no return. "People say time heals all wounds... I say time heals wounds but scars are left to remind you what you have been through and what you survived." Stop shattering your own heart by trying to make a relationship (friend, family, partner) work that clearly isn’t meant to work. We have to stop trying to repaint people's colors. We have to learn to believe the love we AREN'T given. You can't love someone into loving you. (God I wish it were that easy) You can’t force someone to be loyal, kind, understanding. You can’t force someone to be the person you need them to be. Even if it's for their own good!! Sometimes the person you want most is the person you’re best without. 😩😫 You have to understand... some things ARE supposed to happen in your life, but they just are NOT meant to be. Damn... It took me so many years to understand that. Don’t lose yourself by trying to fix what’s meant to stay broken. God always has a plan even if we can't understand it (or don't want to understand it) Even in the darkest of places... Our Lord sees His vision. We might not understand it at the moment but I promise you, your future will always bring understanding and clarity of why things didn’t work out. Don’t put your happiness on hold for someone (family, friend, partner) who isn’t holding on to you. "A Girl once told me… Be careful when trying to fix a broken person. For you may cut yourself on their shattered pieces."

Many fans interpreted the post as Kardashian giving up on her relationship with Odom. The reality star has been a constant fixture by the 36-year-old former NBA star's side as he continues to recover from his lengthy hospitalization.

"If it's a relationship that served a purpose in my life, like Lamar, why wouldn't I want them in my life afterwards?" Kardashian said of Odom in March. "Just because you break up with someone doesn't mean you lose that connection."

Odom was discovered unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel Oct. 13 and later confirmed to have cocaine in his system. The former NBA player, who struggled with substance abuse for years, was spotted at a bar over Easter weekend.

"I hate this feeling.... Helpless," Kardashian tweeted after Odom's outing.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star followed up her cryptic post by telling fans to not "read too deep into things." She and ex-boyfriend French Montana were spotted at Hyde nightclub Sunday evening.
