If there is one thing that is underrated in this world, that is letting go. We have all heard people say you should let go or telling yourself even that you should let go. But is it so easy to let go? I honestly think it is one of the most difficult things there can be. There is always a confusion between should we hold on to something or should we let it go and this can go on forever.

We humans have this tendency of holding on to things that become a habit, no matter if they are good for us or not. We also tend to think that holding on to something is the right thing to do and makes us strong, which is not the case, but just the opposite in fact. We are just used to familiar things and letting go of something (or a feeling) that is familiar or out of our comfort zone is not easy for us (or seen as hassle, we are lazy beings after all). It is difficult for us to realize that if something is adding no value or worth to our life, it is better that we let it go and move on from it.

Moreover, at times we refuse to let go because we are waiting for something to happen, which might not even happen in real, be it with a person or some event in life. By doing this we are just not letting space for something better to walk in. We are standing in a limbo with time passing by every other day, month and sometimes years. We owe it to ourselves to take a step back and realize if things are really going to happen or you are just being delusional about it. And once you let go, please do not beat yourself with the thoughts that it could have been any different or what if I stuck on longer, it’ll not make it better. So give yourself a benefit of doubt and make peace with the fact that you have tried your best and that it only make sense to let go.

It can be even more difficult, when there are people involved, be it family, friends or partners. You either do not want to lose them or hold on to them for emotional (or any other) dependency or what ever be the reason, making you stick on to them for longer periods of time. It’s sometimes hard to let go of toxic people, even if you are aware of it. This is where we go wrong, have that courage in you to let go, you will thank yourself for it. Because more than anything, it is important to respect yourself first.
On the other hand, there are some people that you just outgrow, and their existence doesn’t seem to make any difference to you, this is a clear indication that your life is definitely better without them.

Now on a parallel thought process, I have another way that I see this as well which again a lot of you might agree with. I sometimes feel that there probably is nothing called letting go in the actuality of it all and that you always live with it in one way or the other. You will of course learn to live without it around, but that does not mean it’s still not a part of you in some way. This being said, it is always important to first keep yourself and your well-being ahead of anything. Letting go can just be as simple as accepting the things or people for what they are and let it be, while you work on bettering yourself. In order to become the version of ourselves that we are supposed to or proud of, there are things in life that you have to just let go or let be, so it doesn’t affect your life in any manner.

No matter which aspect of letting go appeals to you better, I believe that if things and people are really meant to be in your life, they will eventually find their way to you in some way or the other, in some timeframe or the other. Anything that you can’t control is probably best left to destiny. So, open up the space for your growth, self-love and better things and you will get what you deserve. Just breathe and let go, because only good things awaits you. ❤️

P.S. I am sure you and everyone you know can relate to this and these little things in life are so important to make it more worth it. Topics like this can go on forever with many angles and perspectives. Do you guys have anything to add, an aspect or a point of view that you think might be missing here? Comments please.
