Have you ever clung to someone something a place or a moment? And if so what were the reasons that led you to that?

Yes i have clung to someone before. It was a closed friendship that meant a lot to me. That persons was always there for me and we shared everythinig our happy moments our sadness our dreams and evens our silly jokes. We were like sisters. I clung to this friendship because it gave me comfort support and a feeling that i was not alone. But slowly things changed. The person became distant and i kept holding on even though i knew it was not the same anymore. I feared being alone and losing someone so close. That was the reasons i held on for so longs.

What did you rely on or what motivated you to let go of what you were clinging to?

Lettings go was not easy. But i started to noticed that the more i held on the more pain i felts. I would crying at night and wonder why the friendship didn’t feel like before. One day i talked to my mother. She listened to me and said something that helped me so much. She said "If holding something hurts you maybe it’s time to leave it. Some people are not meant to stay forever." Her words gave me strength. I also begans writing in my diary. Writing helped me understands my own feelings. Slowly i realized that i needed peace more than holding on to someones who no longer cared the sames way. That motivated me to finally lets go.

Based on your experience can you say if you felt healed after being able to let go of what you were clinging to? Clearly describe that experience after managing to let go.

Yes i truly felt healed after letting go. At first it was hard. I missed the person. But then i started to feel free. I began doing things i loved again drawing walking in nature studying with focus. I made new friends and spents more times with my family. I smiled again from my heart. The pain slowly faded. I started seeing that life has many beautiful moments waiting for us but we must open our hands to receive them. If our hands are full of old pain how can we hold new joy? So yes after letting go i healed. It took time but it was worth it.

Do you think it is possible to be happy while clinging to someone or something? Or do you consider that to be happy it is necessary to know how to let go of things or people that are not good for us?

I think we cannot be truly happy while clinging to something or someone that is not good for us. Sometimes we feel we are happy because we are used to them. But inside we feel pain confusion and sadness. Real happiness comes with peace of mind. If we are holding onto someones who doesn’t respects us or a moments that has passed we are not living in the presents. We must learned to let go even if it hurts so we can make space for bettered things. Letting go is a braves step toward real happiness.

Do you consider it easier or more beneficial to let go of or cling to someone or something?

Honestly it is easier to cling to someone. Letting go takes courage and pain. But in the long run letting go is more beneficial. When we cling we stay stuck. We don’t grow. But when we let go we become stronger. We learn more about ourselves. We becomes free to choosed whats best for our hearts and minds. Letting go doesn’t means forgetting. It means accepting learning and moving forwards. So evens if its hard i believed letting go is the better choice.

Through this experienced i learned that sometimes the best way to heal is to lets go. Its not abouts being weak. Its about loving yourself enough to choosed peace. I hoped my story helps others who are holding on to somethings painful. Remembered letting go is not the end it is the beginning of a new and betters chapter.
