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.

Letting go of someone hurts a lot but it is necessary for the both of you to move on. If you are unable to let go, you are just fooling yourself and depriving you and your ex the happiness you both deserve. Life is about challenges, changes and fate. If you truly are fated for each other, even if you let go of her this once, you will find each other in the future.

You are right! It is nonsense to be sad with what is gone. It is useless to frown and
be in despair if one thing or someone needs to leave you behind
with or without the right explanation, whether its the truth or just
lies , just think of those who are always there and never left. Appreciate
everything and everyone you have. Grab it before its too ...late.
They are the ones who are worth your tears...

Wow! this topic is quite complete! haha you defined it perfectly... i had nothing to say about it.... but, if you don't mind.. I would share something about letting Go..
Letting Go of someone you love is really hurt and painful right? I had experienced that, i think it was last 2 months, I loved this man for 6 months.. yeah! its not that long but i really loved him... I decided to let go of him because he's married! I didn't know that he was married... grrrr He live beside my house... Until now, I'm not over him yet..but, I'm fine... I know God is always there for me...

Broken hearts will always heal, but will never be fully repaired. I admired you ordinarygirl you were tough and you did it right, because you are not sure if that man will love you truly. I congratulate you for that!

I agree with you, when we let it go we feel thinner like a bag very heavy that was in our shoulders have disappeared, we feel free, free to go on, to begin a new step in our life, to open our heart to new things, when we let it we are ready to take a new challenge, to face the life since another point of view, when we let it go, we get the victory, the victory of not staying slave of the past.
