"Some people say that it’s a sign of weakness to let go, that it’s the same thing as giving up. But I believe letting go can sometimes be a sign of strength. To let go of someone you love, to put yourself and your happiness first, to have the strength to make the hard decision when it’s easier to stay together. To let go of something you put so much effort into. That’s what it is. You’ve invested so much of yourself and your time into a relationship that’s simply not working out anymore. And no matter how hard you try and want it to work, it just doesn’t and it can’t." — Erica Pro

Do you ever find yourself suddenly engulfed into a conversation about something that happened in your past? And when you finally finish the conversation, the person just looks at you and utters "I'm sorry".

Lately, I sit and look back thinking, I'm not upset anymore. I'm OK talking about these things. See, the thing is, it really is OK now. It's been months maybe even years since that event happened. It's a lesson learned and a chapter finished in my book of life.

“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.” — Dr. Wayne W Dyer

You get to be upset over your past. You get to take your time processing and analyzing your past, and you have control over when you get to move on and how it affects you here on out.

"Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go." — Hermann Hesse
