Why is it so hard to let go? aside from the fact that you still have feelings for the person, what are those things that keeps you hanging on? How can a person let go that easily accept from accepting it? what are the things a person can do to forget the feelings?

Letting go someone you love is so hard because you are already attached to that person, it is already part of your routine to be with him/her plus the good memories. Once you invested a feelings it would not be easy to let go. Those happy thoughts, simple gestures, smile, teasing, and argument with your partner is the hardest part to let go. You definitely gonna miss those moments, even the bad times of being together.

Letting someone go can be a struggle we don't want to deal with. We can feel like we have failed someone by letting them go from our lives. Hope keeps you hanging on when it might be better to let go instead. You dont have to forget your feelings for this person. They will still be in your heart.

I read this in a book: "Some people are only meant to pass by our lives to give us a gift or teach us a lesson. After that, they move on. They are not meant to stay with us forever..." People have different ways of dealing with letting go. On my part, I always think that the best revenge is making your self better. Regardless of whether the other party will ever noticed the changes in you. Try stepping out of your comfort zone and do something you've always wanted to do but never had the guts to do it. It will help keep your mind off things. You can not forget the feelings, it would always be there. But time will heal the wounds and make it less painful, may some day you'll learn to laugh about it.

It's difficult to let go because of the good memories that you have shared together. Mostly this is the main reason why people can't just move on with their lives. Especially if the things you did together and the places you went together are still there and keeps reminding you every minute of your life, it's really hard to let go. That's why it is much better to move somewhere where you cannot be reminded of anything about your past.

letting go is really hard. but a cure to a person who suffered from love is also love. we cant keep ourselves to think and asked why some can easily move forward and let go of love. maybe there where circumstances that they really need to let go, its not because they do not love that person anymore but they just need to pull out themselves for a much weighed situation. true love really waits. just have that patience. sometimes, the things that keeps you hanging on in the relationship is the fact of wanting to feel it. the times that both of you where still together, happy moments you shared with her/him are the most things that indulge you to remain in that situation. but, if you would think that you need to move forward, dont ever look back since there still things that God has planned for you. be strong to step forward for yourself. and surrender everything to Him since He's your guide in everything. make yourself a busy one, when yourself of wanting back from the past. most of all, learn to Love yourself and Trust only to Him. :)

It's really hard to let go so easily once you have been so much attached to that person and you know you love that person already. I think one can forget his/her feeling once he/she has found another person that will replace that love he/she felt from that someone.
