A Strategic Plan For Letting Go
The pain shocks you.
It feels like your heart is turning against you to attack itself.
You're drowning, and it feels like there is no chance for air again.
You can catch your breath. Yes.
It hurts to think about it. Them.
Here's what you'll lose: The memories. The laughter. The connection. The secrets. The hope of forever.
I want to be honest about this.
There's no more time.
Letting go can be difficult because we often form strong emotional attachments to people and things. Whether it is friendships or intimate relationships, the truth is that we become so invested in a person or a situation that it can be hard to let go and move on.
