This is not really a poem, but I want to share these thoughts anyway.


One of the most painful things we have to do in our lives is Letting Go. Sometimes it is Letting Go of things...material things which mean a lot to us, even if only sentimental value.

It may mean Letting Go of feelings. When we hold sadness inside, and try to mask it with only a show of happiness, it is better to let it go, to feel the sadness so it washes through us. A good cry can be cleansing.

Sometimes, we have to let go of someone we care for very deeply when we realize that person does not care for us in the same way. Maybe it is best to leave them remembering us with whatever kind of feeling they do have for us. It may not be possible to hide our own deeper feelings for that person, which could make their life uncomfortable. Letting Go may be the best gift we can give them because they may realize how we feel, yet care enough not to want to hurt us.

Even when we know a relationship is not right, on both sides, or one person has a doubt about it, it is hard to let go of something that seems secure. We often accept less than the best because we can’t bear to let go.

There are occasions when we feel something wonderful for someone, but we don’t express it for fear of being rejected. Sometimes our feelings will be rejected. Yet, what if we withhold it from the one person who could very well be that One Special Someone in our lives and they too have been afraid to express their true feelings, or don’t even realize their true feelings yet! How sad that we may miss The Best for fear of Letting Go of the expression of those feelings.

Whatever the reason, or situation, it is never easy Letting Go.

Good night Everyone and sweetdreams….

Hug and xoxoxo,

I have found that letting go of the past is the hardest for me. Either a memory of hurt, losing a loved one, failing at something you wanted really bad or even being cheated on.

Just remember in order to move on you must first let go.

theyre hard times but shape who we are...even in letting go we retain our experiences and the dignity and character with which we got through them. it never hurts to have a support network of acquaintances, friends, or family...or in my case my dog. (hes much cooler than the little man who sits on my shoulder and says OH MAN RYN....YOU SHOULDNT'VE DONT ...THAT!)plus hes got a doggy smile for me every morning before we go for our walks. and for me at least nothing can really top that. for that hour i laugh and smile and play no matter how hard of times im going through.

I've had so much experience in my 45yrs here on earth. Both good and bad. I've learned the hard way but the only things that gets me going are my 2 children and my strive to be a better person. I learn to be kind to someone no matter who they are and what their status are. I always say, "Hello" to someone I came across whether at work or people in our neighborhood that I do not know. I don't feel hurt if they do not respond to my greetings coz i know not all people are friendly. I made it my goal and then I find peace and happiness.

At this very moment I am not sure which to let go of first. But each and every one of your let goes need to be done. When the wounds of misunderstanding and chaos is more graphic than the movie 300.
