The power of letting go.
Sometimes we let go without notice. We do this not because we do not care, but because we have given the persons too many chances to be proven wrong.
Sometimes we let go without notice. We do this not because we do not care, but because we have reached the max threshold of patience. You hope the person will change, but they do not.
Sometimes we leg go without notice. Yet, we look back. We do this because we care. We hope the person will change or has changed. We take a risk. The person may yet again disappoint you.
It is best to let go without notice. We do this because we care about ourselves. We do this because we do not need validation from others or to be reminded of why letting go was necessary in the first place.
How do we let go? We should be guided by our own experiences and those experiences themselves should be enough to support our decision to let go.
There is power in letting go of persons, things, and places, and embracing new opportunities.
