Moving Forward

Sometimes, ya just gotta let go.

That's something I'm learning. Something I feel like I have been learning for a long time. It's so stinkin' hard to let go of things that make you upset or have hurt you, to forget the past and move forward. It's even harder when what you're needing to let go is a person, not moment or memory.

Sometimes, it hurts more to try and cling on to something that's not there anymore. To constantly be trying to remember how things used to be, and then just get slapped in the face by reality. That is never fun. Or pretty. It's a rather harsh awakening. But learning to forget the way things used to be and accept the way things are is one of hardest things for me to achieve.

So how do you do it? How are you meant to just let go of something that is so much a part of who you are? How are you meant to cut this piece out of you and just forget about it? And then move on forward like everything is okay, when you just feel like you lost a piece of your soul?
