This is not how it goes.
You do not let go by simply willing yourself not to care anymore.
This is something that people who have never been really, really hung up on something think.
Sarah Eiseman
you’re able to only move on if you start building something new.
Our hearts work the same way as our minds in this regard.
As long as we are telling ourselves that we must let go, the more deeply we feel attached.
So dont tell yourself to let go.
Instead, tell yourself that you could cry for as long as you need.
Tell yourself that you might let you foundation fall through.
What you will realize is that you are still standing.
If you are certain that you cannot let go of what is hurting you, then dont.
But take one step today, and then another tomorrow, to rebuild a new life for yourself.
Piece by piece, day by day.
Everything you lose becomes something you are profoundly grateful for.
With time, you see that it was not the path.
It was what was standing in your way.
