letting someone go
“Sometimes, the reason for letting someone go is because they can’t help but hurt you during this phase in their life, when you take the time to love someone, you learn what demons live within them and you realize that they are hurting you because they are hurting somewhere within themselves, they are fighting a battle within and may not even know it, so they take it out on you and fight you. Decide to let them go because you really believe that the both of you can find the healing you truly need without being together and hurting each other in the process. Letting go doesn’t need to be petty or cruel and letting someone go doesn’t mean you stop loving and caring about the person. It just means that you are releasing the attachments of the past that keep getting in the way of your happiness and mental clarity. Letting go is the unbinding and disentangling of old behavior patterns that keep pulling you into unnecessary mental tension and worry. Making peace with the past opens you up to so many new opportunities and life adventures and allows you to apply the lessons you have learned with a new calmness. Letting someone go isn’t easy, there will be good days and there will be some awful days but these dark days will teach you how strong you truly are. And in the end everything will be worth it, and the pain you feel will begin to blossom into hope for the future you deserve. Once you can be okay with things not having gone a certain way, life begins again.”
