Have you ever had an ex that just won’t give up? or have you been the ex that just won’t let go? life is too short for you to hold on to moments that are dead and gone. i have seen a lot of people, women especially, holding on to relationships that are destined to be lessons and not forever. when i mean lessons i mean, the relationship was only to teach you what not to do in your next. sometimes we underestimate the power we have and what we are worth and we hang on to things that seem great but aren’t in its entirety.

Example one, there is this lady i met. she has a boyfriend who cheats on her openly and has hit her once or twice (probably more) but she can’t call him to order or break up with him because she intends to be on of the married couples of 2011. but is all the pain worth it? after marriage will the situation get worse or does marriage automatically make things better? what makes you think this man is not actually attracted to a girl who knows how to hold her ground. My advice; let it go.

Example two, there is this guy who has been dating a girl for a year. he told his friends that she may be the one, and he is hell bent on getting her to the alter. later after this realisation, he finds out that not only is this chick cheating on him but she is doing it with a friends father. she is a well known aristo chick. he fights with everyone who has advised him to let her go, saying she can change. the girl now breaks up with him to become a second wife to a man who can offer her much more than he could at the time. the guy still calls her asking why, trying to understand where he went wrong. but have you ever thought of the fact that she is the wrong one here. you are the good person, the one she let go for financial and materialistic reasons, why are you the one begging. you have been offended, insulted, cheated on and dumped and you are still wanting her. even if her genitals are made of original honey, topped with whipped cream, sugar sprinkles with a cherry on top, she still isn’t worth your sanity, and your time. move on, let it go!

The only way we can move forward in life i by letting things go. Holding on to things that prove to be time wasting hurt us more than the hurt we are already facing.

When you let it go, you regain your sanity.

If you are holding on to something you know deep down within your heart isn’t worth it, open your hands and let it slip away. learn from it, change your future with it. to move on you need to let it go!
