Letting Go

Letting go and moving on

18

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
