“One of the hardest
decisions you’ll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try
harder”
“The knowledge of the
past stays with us. To let go is to release the images and the emotions, the
regrets and the fears of the past that bind our spirit.”
“One of the simplest
ways to stay happy is letting go of the things that make you sad.”
“Some of us think
holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”
It’s quotes like these that have got me thinking about my
relationships recently. If you have ever given your whole self to another
person, and had that person drift away, then I hope this speaks to you. I feel
like I have been trying to fix a relationship that has no hope. I have this
problem, which some may see as a blessing, where if I want something I can’t
stop until I have it. In some circumstances this is great! But in the case,
makes letting go just that much harder. One second I’m happy and the next I’m
being torn apart. How am I supposed to fix all these different situations? I wish
I could get things back to how they were. Not in a sense where I want to leave
behind what I have now, but in a sense where I can feel at peace wherever I go.
I know now that there is a point within this whole process that you just have
to stop. Not give up, but just let go. If I am the only one fighting, then what
truly am I fighting for? For a relationship that is broken… Maybe it can’t be
fixed, and maybe I just need to stow it away in a beautiful part of my past. It
is said that letting go is hard, but holding on is even harder. I know I am
going to miss them everyday and a part of me wishes that I could’ve done
something different, but I have to forgive myself and begin growing again.
