Letting go of important people in your life is tough. It can be a significant other, a best friend, a family member anyone. It is not easy. As easy it may seem to those that are letting go it isn't. It hurts to think of someone that has made you so happy and helped you through so much not being a part of your life in the same way anymore. But it hurts more to hold on to someone that is hurting you, or hold on to something you know isn't working.

We hold on to familiar things the thought of leaving our comfort zone is alarming. Having to start over with a new friend or significant other who has to learn of all your baggage and secrets is truly stressful and scary. The feeling of letting go though is empowering. It hurts trust me, but its truly empowering. It's empowering in the sense of you knowing what you want out of life or even need in life from a partner or friend.

Life is full of lesson, and letting go of things hurts, but sometimes it's better than holding on to it in the long run. Holding on to someone who you know your future won't work out with, or someone who is constantly dragging you down. Please do yourself the favor of letting go of it, and moving on. It wont be easy but you will feel a weight lifted off your shoulders. The saying is true, if they're meant to be in your life they'll come back. Fate will bring your paths back together if it truly is meant to be.
