Life is a lot much easier when you realize the ones who stay will stay, and the ones who leave will leave; no matter how hard you holding them back.
Why do we being so hard on ourselves over someone who takes us for granted? Is it worth the pain, worth the tears, worth the time? I know how hard it is to despise our thoughts from them. To not to think about them, even for a glance.
People said the best way of letting go is by keeping your mind busy.
Objection.
Being busy is just a temporal distraction. At the end of the day, you'll be laying on your bed, and staring at the ceiling, wondering what they're doing at the very moment. What would happen if they text you, what would happen if you guys are still dating, what would happen if you two didn't know each other. Isn't that the easiest part? Wondering, wondering, and wondering. Daydreaming makes us happy, to think that maybe still there're some possibilities of the things we wants. For me, letting go isn't about keeping our mind busy, isn't about being distracted to another things.
It's about making peace with ourselves.
Our minds.
Our soul.
Our memories.
It's about realizing things have changed, and that's just a cycle called life. Another cycle will come, sooner or later, we'll be happy again. Nothing is eternal, happiness, sadness, clouds, rainbows.. They're all temporary, to reminds us about the uniqueness of life. We all know how hard it is to make a fresh start, to swallow the bitter pills of truths. But eventually, we'll have to do it, right?
Letting go is all about ourselves. How we react, feel, and see towards things. It's never about them.
It's a part of knowing ourselves better.
