Let go.

Let go.
Why is it so difficult to let go?
Of old memories.
Of loved ones who love us no more.
Of the past.
Why does the human brain have this pathetic habit of living in the past?
Why can’t we just move on with our life, by just accepting, that what once was, is now no more. Be it relationships, times, or even people. Enjoy the memories, don’t mourn them. Memories never die, even if the times, relationships or the people they are associated with die. Think back on some incident that happened, and smile, be happy that it happened. Don’t be sad that the person is now not as close, or the times are not as good. Don’t be disheartened, because you don’t have it anymore. Be happy that at least you had it for sometime. Some people didn’t even have the chance to have it. At least you had it for sometime. How much time- that does not matter. You had it. That matters. The reason, God gave us the capability to remember, to make memories, is so that when we didn’t have the original, we could look back at the memories and still smile about something. So what if he’s not your best friend anymore? So what if she hates your very sight? So what if they’re no more? So what?
Let it go. Let him go. Let her go. Let them go. There’s only so much baggage that you can carry. Whatever happened had to happen. Nothing you can or could have done about it. It might have been your fault. It might not. Who cares now?
All that matters is that it’s over. And clinging onto it is not going to bring it back. Whatever it is. But whatever it was, it was definitely beautiful. So why spoil its beauty by mourning for it?

I know it hurts. I know you want it back. Badly. I know. But I also know that no matter how much you want it or how much it hurts, it’s over. For ever. The thing you are crying for has moved on. In life, into heaven, or onto another time. And so should you. Because as you sit and mourn for the things that you don’t have, you are missing out on the things that you do. Remember that the moment that just went by, will never come back. And you wasted it by crying. You could have rather made another memory to smile about. You could have smiled and given someone else a memory that they cherish for the rest of their life. You still can. Try it. And yeah… don’t forget…
Let go.
