Letting Go...

To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about pride, about how you appear & 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 about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss & it’s not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome & move on. It is having an open mind & confidence in the future. Letting go is learning, experiencing, & growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry & made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had & 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. ~Unknown
