The Art of Letting Go

Who says that letting go is an art? Have you ever experienced one?

You are a strong person if you happen to move on from a hurtful breakup with a smile. A strong person is not the one who doesn't cry. A strong person is one who is quiet and sheds tears for a moment and then picks up the sword and fights again. But what if you don't have the courage to pick it up and fight?

Then comes yourself. Picking up the pieces again. The art of letting go involves processes that only you can do. It is a part of your growth. It means to leave things the way they are and move forward. You just need to realize that life never stops and comes to a halt. It may be difficult to do so, but life tells us that we must go on. You cannot think about the future, or new happenings in life if you continue to cling to the past.

Saying goodbye doesn't mean you don't love the person anymore. The feeling may still be there, but it is healthy to move on and let go. To forgive and forget is a gift to yourself. And it does good things too. It makes the heart happy again.
