Letting Go

There comes a time in our lives when we must learn to let go of things, people, relationships, etc. It's a very difficult thing to do, something that I am struggling with at the moment. As much as something is liked, loved, or desired, when it no longer benefits ourselves or even harms ourselves, it must be let go. We must have more respect for ourselves.

It is a scary prospect, sometimes. How do you let go of something or someone that has become an integral part of your life? This fears tends to keep us holding on for much longer than we should. It can hurt, too. Excruciatingly so, but remembering that we are doing this for our personal betterment and health, it eases the pain. Some. This pain will go away with time, and we can look back and wonder why we kept the thing or person around as long as we did.

It can be done. It may require assistance, seek it out. It may require removing ourselves from an area completely, do it. You may relapse, that's okay, try again. We must remember to make ourselves a priority. When we put others ahead of ourselves, eventually those others can become toxic to us and must be let go, then what are we left with? A shell of ourselves that we must refill.
