Contest: Letting Go and Healing.

Hi steemit community!

Okay, when I saw this contest, I knew I wanted to participate because I had a lot of thoughts to share.
Letting go is one of those things that sounds simple, but it's actually really hard. I mean, think about it, letting go of someone you loved, someone who was a big part of your life, it's not always easy.

For me, letting go has been a journey. I've had my share of relationships that didn't work out,and each time,it felt like a part of me was dying. But as I looked back, I realized that I was holding on to something that was hurting me more than helping me.i was holding on to the memories, the feelings,the what ifs. And it was consuming me.💔😫

Healing,on the other hand, had been a process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's like trying to mend a broken bone. It takes time, Patience, and care.
For me, healing has meant taking the time to focus on myself,to prioritize my own needs,and to learn to love myself more again.

When I finally let go of the things that were holding me back. I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe again. I realized that I didn't have to be defined by my past or by the people who had hurt me. I could be whoever I wanted to be, and that was liberating.

Letting go doesn't mean forgetting. It doesn't mean that the memories disappear,or that the pain goes away completely. But it does mean that you're no longer controlled by those memories and that pain. You're free to move on, to grow, and to heal.

Have you ever clung to someone or something?

Yes,I have. It was a relationship that didn't work out. The person had become my whole world, and when it ended, I felt lost and alone. I clung to the memories, the feelings, and the hope that things would go back to the way they were. But as tine went on, I realized that it was never going to work out, and that I needed to let go.

What motivated you to let go?

It was a combination of things. The pain and hurt were becoming too much to bear, and I realized that I deserved better. I deserved to be loved and respected, and I couldn't find that in the relationship anymore. So I made the difficult decision to let go, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Did you feel healed after letting go?

Yes, I did. It wasn't immediate, but over time I started to feel like myself again. I started to feel happy,to feel at peace. I realized that I didn't need someone to complete me, that I was whole on my own. And that realization was incredibly empowering.

Can you describe that experience after managing to let go?

It was like waking up from a long and dark sleep. I felt like i could finally see again, like I could finally breathe again. I felt free, and it was an amazing feeling. I was able to focus on myself, to prioritize my own needs,and to learn to love myself again. It was a journey, but it was worth it.

Do you think it's possible to be happy while clinging to someone?

No, I don't think so. Clinging often comes from a place if fear or insecurity, and that's not a healthy foundation for happiness.

Do you find it easier to let go or hold on?

For me, it's easier to let go now. I've learned that holding on to something that's not good for me only causes pain and suffering. Letting go,on the other hand, allows me to grow and move forward. It's not always easy, but it's worth it.

Conclusion

Letting go and healing are two of the most important things I've learned in life. They're not easy, but they're worth it. When you let go of things that are holding you back, you can finally start to heal and move forward.
