Letting Go

Letting go is hard. The stage of your life when you feel heavy and vulnerable.

Letting go is not easy, for sure. Some people may advise you to let go but they themselves can exactly understand why you need to let go.

They say letting go is a matter of timing. They have a point. Time heals everything, right?

But letting go is not necessarily about timing. It also involves courage. If you have no courage to face the things you can let go, how will you understand why you're letting go?

I don't know what's the big picture of letting go.

All I know is, the past is connected with your present and your present molds your future so why let go?

If you did something wrong in the past, that's simply a part of your history. No matter how you try to ignore, delete or forget the event, it remains as a memory.

So why let go?

Perhaps, the right question is: Is letting go a choice?

In some ways, yes.

Letting go might be defined as a voluntary act to fix something. If you are brokenhearted then someone tells you to let go.

But admit it folks! Sometimes, letting go hurts even more!

Maybe, Dr. Phil Mc Graw was right. Letting go means standing up on your own feet and walk out of your history.

Your history is your past and whether you want it or not, that's your life. If letting go hurts even more, there's a tendency you're not standing tall.

But in the end, having the ability to step out from that history remains your choice. Your choice while waiting for the time to let go.
