LETTING GO: What is it to you?

[enigma12]

just feel free to post what is "letting go" for you ....

"To let go isn't to forgot, 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 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 about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go 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 set yourself free"...

what is letting go for me... may i share you this story...

i never thought i could have the strength before to accept things that nothing lasts forever even if you've been with the person you love for so many years... my previous relationship was an on-off rollercoaster and the first break-up was a total hell for me because it was hard for me to let go to the point of losing my self-respect and begged him for months... we got back together...

then recently when he ended things again on our monthsary on the phone, i did the crying-why are you doing this to me part... and right after he said that he's leaving for good, i put down the phone and cried for the last time...

in disbelief, in the first week, i didn't cry anymore and went on with my life... i used to wear a fake smile before but this time i really laughed with my friends as if nothing happened... maybe, the accepting part and asking for God's strength (that night) helped me a lot... some told me that i am really letting go and for some, it's one sign that i have grown up... i believed what my friends had said...

letting go gave me a sense of new kind of freedom... i was no longer trapped in my own denial that it's not yet over...

right now, my ex keeps on communicating with me and asked me if i have moved on... and without batting an eyelash, i said yes... on his part, he found it hard to let go of me... those were the magic words that i'd give him another chance but in my heart, i know it's not right anymore and i realized i deserve someone better this time....

so i let him go...

letting someone/something go is letting someone/something better to come in..

releasing somebody which can't be yours....

"Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go"

letting go is part of growing,..
it's hard and painful but one can always endure it, we just need to bare in mind that when we let go of some things new opportunity comes along....

very tough to beat... similar to ACCEPTANCE.
truth really hurts and accepting it makes it more and more complicated..
one has to be mature enough to endure this kind of stage in life.
