What i understand by the subject matter “Letting Go”

To me letting go means acepting that some things are not meant to stayed in our lives forever. It is about releasing the pain angers or attachmint that keeps us stuck in the past. It does not mean that we stop caring; it simply means we accept reality and allow life to move forward. Leting go can be about a person a dreams a mistake or even a situation that is out of our controls. Sometimes holding on to something only hurts us more. When we let go we make spaces for new beginings and peace in our hearts. It is a proces that takes time and courage because it is not easy to released something we once loved or valued. But once we do we feel lighter and strongered. Leting go is a sign of maturity and emotionals strengths.

My experience where i had to let go of something

Yes i have exprienced a moment in my life when i had to lets go of something very dear to me. It was my friendships with someone i truly cared about. We were very close and shared everythings with each other. But as time pased things changed. We started having misunderstendings and arguments over small things. The bond that was once filled with love and trust slowly turned into stress and sadness. I tried many times to fix things but it seemed like we were growing apart. No matter how much effort i made the friendship was not the same anymore. I realized that holdings on was only makings me more unhappy. It was affecting my peace of mind and confidence. I missed the old friendship but i also knew that sometimes people grow in different directions. So i made the hard decision to let go. It was painful at first. I cried and felt lonely. But with time i understood that it was the right decision. I learned that some relationships come into our lives to teach us lessons not to stay forevers. Letting go of that friendship taught me to value myself more and to accepted changes in life with an open heart.

Why and how i knew it was time to let go.

I knew it was times to lets go when I realized that i was no longers happy or peaceful in that situation. Whenever i tried to hold it only caused more pain and disappointment. I asked myself an important question: “Is this friendship still helping me grow or just holding me back?” The answer was clear it was holding me back. That was the moments i understod that i deserved peace and happines. Life is too shorts to keeps fighting for something that no longer brings joy. Letting go did not mean i stoped caring; it meant i respectid both myself and the other person enough to move forward. To make peace with it i started focusing on positive things. I spent more time with my family enjoyed nature and kept myself busy with creative activities. Slowly the pain reduced and was replacid by calmnes. I learned thats when one door closes anothers opens we just needed to have faith in the process.
