To let go isn’t to forget, not think about, or ignore.
It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting
go isn’t winning, and it isn’t losing. It’s not about pride, and
it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling
on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad
thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt or sadness. It’s not
giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss, and it’s not
defeat. To let go is to cherish memories, but to overcome and
to move on. It is having an open mind and confidence in the
future. Letting go is accepting. It is learning and experiencing
and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that
made you laugh, made you cry and made you grow. It’s about all
that you have, all that you had and all that you will soon gain.
Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the
strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing
that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let
go is to open a door, and to clear a path and to set yourself free.
