"Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny."

Breaking up is hard, but letting go is even harder.

It's better to let them go if they don't know how to appreciate and give a value to your efforts. 🌱

A broken relationship is like shattered glass. You hold on tightly to it no matter how much your hands may bleed

Remember people, It's better to do it *now* than doing it later, you'll procrastinate and remember it over and over again. Don't make my mistake when I was moving<3

I had a crush on a girl who liked me back, but we never said anything. Her family moved out of state, and my crush mutated into an unhealthy obsession. It took me over 10 years to get over her while she (thankfully) didn't even know and long moved on.

17 years later I ran into her 2 weeks ago. I didn't tell her every single thing I thought up, but I finally got to say the important stuff to her face. She gave me hugs, and I broke down in her arms. I'm exhausted

best timing ever for my point in life rn

Recently had to end a relationship for very valid reasons. Still doesn't stop me from missing them intensely and feeling sad about it. This video came at a perfect time for me. Thank you for it

You dont lose people, people lose u 💜

I once thought before that holding on to certain people is what made me strong but sometimes letting go is what makes you strong.

This is great timing for me personally. I broke up with my first boyfriend yesterday, and the pain I feel is immense. I've never loved anyone like I love him, but he wasn't ready to let go of his past relationship to be with me, and I know I deserve better than that. This decision was the hardest decision I ever made, but it was the right one, even though it hurts the both of us. My love for him won't go away anytime soon but I know I did what was right for myself and for him. Be strong and do right by yourself even when its difficult. You can do it ❤

I’ll never let my love to Pringles go.. it’s the most important thing to me rn.
Edit: bruh im not used to this many likes, how the heck did this happen!? XD 🤣

I had a bad experience with a toxic friend. I had to get out of that friendship. At the time, I had no friends other than her. She was the one who introduced me to her own group of friends. But she would treat me horribly. She would say horrible things about me, make me do all the assignments, make threats if I did anything wrong, purposefully exclude me out of group activities after all I’d do, and many more things that still hurt to this day…. The rest of her friends in the group would just follow along with her. I was afraid for about 4 years to end our “friendship, ” because I felt that I’d be all alone, no more friends. I never told anyone about how bad my experience was with her. It felt like a trap sometimes. I’m happy that I found the courage to get out of it. But even though she treated me horribly, I struggled with letting it go, and I still did care about her for some reason. I guess this kind of friendship was all I knew about friendship. I never had many “friends” before this, so it kind of made me believe that this was normal. I also tried to emphasize with her that maybe she was going through a lot, but she would dismiss it whenever i tried to ask and just make fun of me more, so in the end, it was all just harming me too much. I had to get out. I hope she is a better person now and if she was struggling with anything, I hope everything is alright now. Wishing anyone else that had a bad experience in a friendship or relationship all the best ❤

bro i just prayed about leaving someone and i saw this😭

I really don't know how to thank you for this video I needed it, I have anxiety issues and all kinds of attachment issues, I'm starting to feel obsessed with my best friend, we haven't been friends for a long time, it's only been 4 months but I'm starting to develop romantic feelings for her, I cant study for my exams because I can't stop thinking about her and waiting for her messages all day long, she likes someone else I'm not sure about her but their parents wants them to get married and I wish it wouldn't end up like this but I think I have to, we are so different from each other and we don't have anything in common, just normal stuff, she can go a whole day without messaging me but I can't even study for 5mins straight without checking my phone so I think I'm making the right decision. It is really difficult and painful to make this decision but its the right thing to do.
I hope one day to get rid of my attachment issues that have ruined my life.

I'm about to communicate to someone about letting go, thank you for this. I truly did love him and he made me feel alive, but he never felt the same even after our intimacy and what we shared together. He was a valuable learning experience and I'll always treasure what we had, but I have to grow and move on and build a life while I can instead of being distracted by him. Although, I am guilty of still hoping to be friends again someday, maybe even start over, but I know thinking those thoughts would only hurt me more while I'm away from him, possibly for good. What I'm sad about too is also having to let go of my mutual friends with him, who were his friends first, and I enjoyed their company greatly too. Ah well, the bountiful monsoon has to make way for the blaring and vibrant fiery days somehow, although, truly, what a shame. I thought I had found my eternal paradise within him. Still, I am so happy to have met you and I am happy to keep a fragment of everything that made you happy within me.

I've been letting go of friendships where I've been the one keeping it going and hoping for more the entire time. It's hard and sad, but worth it for my own mental health.

[ava_animatics]

i let go of a close person to me and I still think back about them. i wish things hadn't changed like they did, but I'm glad I let go

Letting go of a friendship is hitting me harder than any of the goodbyes and partings I ever had to partake in 😢
