Embark on the Quest of Letting Go

There’s a time and place when you have to let go of someone you once loved. Personally, letting go of someone you had once loved is difficult when you dreamed of a possible future that the two of you could live happily ever after. The problem with that is by creating a fantasy of that person being the true savior to your heart is a rather dangerous illusion because you’re painting a false image of an unrealistic individual who you want your lover to become. By creating unrealistic expectations of that person can strip away the true beauty of who that individual really is. I’ve come to realize that every single being on this planet is by default imperfect, which is awesome by all means.

Trying to be perfect just to be loved is just tiring and a waste of tremendous energy. Learning how to let go of someone that you’ve strongly developed feelings towards isn’t always an easy task to ever handle. There’s this hopeful belief that the person who had broken your heart will come around someday. However, seven times out of ten that is an unlikely scenario unless there was a good enough reason on what made them leave.

The power of forgiving someone who had broken you heart in the past is very liberating when you begin to realize that no one on this planet is truly perfect. Having a dysfunctional script can lead you to believing that most people on this planet are more perfect than yourself. Facing the hard facts of reality, I’ve come to an understanding that everyone faces some form of tragedy, heartbreak, loneliness, depression, past trauma’s, and so forth. Therefore, no one has it easy in this life.

The power of letting go gives you the freedom to pursue your passions, dreams, and better yet, getting to know yourself more as a person. When you don’t let go, your life and creativity will begin to stifle if you don’t take the time to start healing yourself properly. Having a close friend or family member can surely help the healing process go quicker, and not to mention, forgiving your past lover or crush entirely without holding any resentment towards them. Life does certainly get better when you realize that there are real people out there who love you just the way you are.

The takeaway of this post is to remain happy with yourself and to realize that you deserve someone that truly loves you for you. Never chase someone who never wanted you to begin with because that will only lead to missed opportunities of finding the “right person” that God has in store for you specifically.
