One of the hardest things in life is to let
go. Letting go of people, letting go of feelings, letting go of places.....because
that is easier said than done. Letting go is like embracing uncertainty when all
we want to do is to hold on. People become history, places become history, your
feelings become history, and yet we don’t realise that, that is what they
are...history.....not our destiny. I am
not talking about giving up, but just accepting that there are things which are
not meant to be. There are plenty of things worth fighting for and giving up
would be such a shame, but there are also plenty of things we hang on
to, that are past their expiry date, and those are the things that we must let
go.
There comes a point in life when you
realise that you get tired trying to fix everything and you know that all will
never be fine again, no matter how much you try. That is time to let go. Rather
than surrounding yourself with all that pointless drama, the people who create
it, and the bitterness they leave in your hearts, you might want to surround yourself
with people who make you happy, make you forget your woes and make you feel
loved.
It is difficult. Difficult to let go of people,
because the memories keep coming back... Difficult to let go of thoughts- the guilt, the anger, the loss, the betrayal, the fear, and maybe love too...to let go of the thoughts that make you
weak. But in the end you realise that you have to just release them. You cannot
be attached to them forever. It will take time, but you will eventually realise
that letting go is not about losing or defeat. It means to cherish those memories,
overcome them and move on. It means freeing yourself from the burden of a past you
cannot change.
Letting go makes you stronger. It lets you
respect and love yourself. It lets you find happiness. It lets you find new beginnings. You deserve to be happy. Gift yourself that happiness. And just let go.....

An insightful post, dear. We all find it difficult to let go of the past burden and baggage. But once done, that is so liberating. We also need to let go our inhibitions and fears, and insecurities, that might prevent us from attaining greater heights !!
ReplyDeleteTitli it is difficult to let go something which has been a part of our life. It requires lot of grit and determination to do so.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful post. You expressed it really well. Letting go is tough, but it's better than weeping over it.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to let go sometimes but letting go seems to be part of life! ♥
ReplyDeleteThere was thing that worried, hassled, troubled, hurt me for a long time. I tried all possible things and nothing would work. And then I accepted it and let go and it was wonderful. I wondered why I didn't do it earlier. I felt so much at peace. Letting Go is the bestest gift we can give to ourselves!!
ReplyDeleteA thoughtful post. Yes it is so important to not hold on unnecessarily things that bring you down, things that hurt, things that you can't change anyway...so let them go..letting go can bring such a release and relief. It lightens the burden we have to carry in our lives, in our hearts.

I thought for sure this post was going to make a "Frozen" reference. It turned out to much much deeper. Enjoying your thought-provoking posts! :)
ReplyDeletethe sheer beauty of this post is you have thrown light on the life and letting go,using a captivating mix of lucid language and hard-hitting statements.The attention to detail and the very common things that we forget is exceptional. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is such a rush when you let something or someone go and it is the right thing to do. Great post.
ReplyDeletegreat post.. thoughtful and inspiring... loved it...
ReplyDeleteTell me about it :) I have never been able to forget and forgive - but always had the capability to completely put it out of my mind unless I get reminded. Problem is, when someone reminds me, I am in full vituperative flow as though I had spent all the intervening period doing nothing else but brood over it :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT is only when it comes to people. If it is circumstances, I am capable of laughing at them even as they are doing their worst :)
