I believe in letting go

This I believe.
I believe in letting go and moving on. I believe people hold onto things because their afraid that what they had for so long won’t be theirs anymore. I believe that not letting go only holds you back from pushing forward. I believe that letting go makes you stronger without you even realizing it.
I like to think sometimes if I hold on for just a little bit longer, minds will change, people will see what I see and things might be able to go back to how they used to be long ago. Instead, holding on keeps you from being able to do things, it ties you down and you think you have no control but you do. I believe that letting go is a fresh start, a new slate.
I always thought that staying mad at people and holding grudges against them made me happier, but it doesn’t. I think when you can finally let go of all the things that person did to you, that’s when you’re at your happiest. I believe that falling in love then letting go is one of the boldest moves someone can make and being okay after that is even bolder. I know that letting go can ache and sting, but holding on does not make anything easier, it leaves you in a state of wanting more. You feel empty and dead inside, but being able to let go of all that will be the strongest thing you will ever do. Trust the mess and the unknown. Trust yourself. Being afraid and letting go regardless the circumstances, there is so much power in that.
I believe that forgiveness is apart of letting go, I think some of us hold on to things for so long because were afraid to forgive. I believe that once you have mastered the key to forgiveness, you can master the key to letting go.
I believe that letting go is taking a huge risk and when you take risk, you shouldn’t be afraid to stumble or fall because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. I believe in letting go, moving on and being okay.
