Letting go.....finally

"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 about winning or losing. It's not about pride, and it's not about how you appear, it's not obbessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts and it deosn'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 and 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 soon will 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."
