My Definition of “Letting Go.”
To me, letting go isn’t accomplished by forgetting. It’s not fulfilled by not to thinking about her, or ignoring her. It doesn’t involve leaving the relationship with feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn’t me winning, and her losing. It’s not about protecting my pride, or destroying hers. My interpretation of “letting go” is not about how we appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t forcefully erasing memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not giving in to her, or giving up on her.
To me, the process of “letting go” involves cherishing memories. To let go, one must overcome and move on. It’s having an open mind and the utmost confidence in the future. It’s the acceptance of what has been done. It’s about the experienced and learning gained during the relationship. It’s about being thankful for how your significant other improved you. “Letting go” involves strength, acceptance, and an open mind for the future.
But yeah, that’s my interpretation of “letting go.”
