Letting Go

Letting go and moving on

12

Letting go and moving on two of the hardest things in life whether it is a relationship or someone you loved has passed away.

First lets talk about a letting go of a relationship. Yes.. It is hard especially when you love that person but know it is the best thing to do when you are wanting to keep your friendship. You may move on from your past relationship and you may always love that person. To me keeping a friendship is way more important than being in a relationship where all you do is fight. Fighting is hard on your body, mind and soul. The person you love will always be in your heart and you may think of her or him every now and then but you also realize it was best in the long run. Moving on from a past relationship means that you two have gotten past your differences and can have a conversation or even meet the new one in each others life. To me Moving on is easier than letting go but everyone is different. Like I said yes, you still think about the what if I done this different or what if this happened. Our minds want to wonder but it isn't good for the mind, body and soul to be wondering about the past. It is best to move on because she or he has already moved on. Do they think about you? Doubt it! He or She is enjoying their new life. So.. Put one step forward and get on with your life.

Letting go and moving on when a loved one has passed is hard because you wont get to see them again. It doesn't matter if it has been 6 months to 25 years you will always have that person in your heart. There is no way to say Good bye to that person or maybe it was unexpectedly and there were harsh words involved. There is no turning back. There is no fully letting go of the loved one. You will always have memories and pictures but that isn't the same as talking to them in person. Again, we may beat ourselves up but it is only hurting us in the long run. Yes, we think what could we have done to help the person, was it my fault, especially in situations we had no control over. Moving on from losing a loved one is hard as well but somehow we do it. We will never forget that person or how they made us feel. Talking about the person may still be hard because our hearts still hurt but somehow with Jesus he helps us get through it in life. Some people are not good at talking about their loved ones it doesn't mean we have forgotten them it means we are trying to move on in our lives and only recall the positive in our life. We can't turn back time or can we fix it but can learn from it and realize life does go on whether we are letting go or moving on from events in our life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
