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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
