Here is something we understand better and better
the older an older we grow…
Once someone has given you their heart
never let it go
Here is something we understand better and better
the older an older we grow…
Once someone has given you their heart
never let it go
It’s not about letting it go.
It’s about letting it in.
Letting it sink deep.
Letting it move through you
without rushing it toward an exit.
It’s about being honest
with what you feel.
About giving your experiences
the reverence they deserve.
Some things ask for a moment.
Some things ask for years.
There is no shame
in holding what is unresolved.
There is only truth.
“Let it go”
has become the anthem of avoidance,
a performance of healing
by those not yet ready
to sit with their own depths.
We don’t have to play that game.
We let it in.
We let it through.
We let it stay
until it is finished speaking.
Until what it carries
naturally begins to change.
Because growth is not forced.
Transformation ripens.
We write our story
by living it fully,
not by abandoning chapters
before they’ve found their meaning.
You are not behind.
You are not stuck.
You are the sign
you have been waiting for
You have to let go
the illusion of control, you think you have
Because none of us can control everything
We are in control of how we react, but we cannot control people or things in our lives
The quicker we embrace that, the closer we'll be to contentment
Constantly chasing, something that will always remain out of your grasp, will just deplete your energy
Life is already such a rush
Will you slow down just for a minute?
Will you smile for just a while
Remember this moment
Especially in times when we are bombarded with things that disturb our peace
To dwell on something could really drive you mad
Thinking about it over and over can really make you sad
As easy as it is for us to breathe in and breathe out
Really that's what letting something go is all about
We ponder over it making it bigger than it has to be
Allowing negative feelings or animosity take the lead
Its not that serious because changes can be made
Being able to let it go gives our forgiveness a gauge
Holding on to a matter will only sir up contention
Try to let days go by without the matter mentioned
No one or anything should steal your sleep at night
Just let it go if you're not planning to make it right
Rather you're over it or not is only for you to know
Your soul would be much happier if you just let it go
You may be older but,
You’re not old.
You may be alone but,
You’re not lonely.
You may be down but,
You’re not depressed.
You may think there’s no hope but,
You’re not hopeless.
At peace I am accepting of
The things I cannot change
I can't turn back the hands of time
To craft and rearrange
The choices that I've made in life
Nor can tomorrow say
For certain that you'll be my wife
Or that there'll be someday
But it's alright, I've grown so much
I'll never be the same
And time this hurting heart will heal
Yet love will still remain
oh my these beautiful days!
autumn has come and will soon be gone
with leaves falling down brown and pale
some leaves are clinging with the hope
will they even survive the winter's cold rage?
i summon the greatest of the force
to teach them how to fall away
hope is a devil in disguise
that will make everyday hard to survive
if you don't fall down, will have nowhere to stay
How should we let go of our beautiful past?
It's said that everything happens for a reason, but is that true?
Situations demand you to accept it gracefully when it's time to let go of yourself in a person.
When you think of smooth grass tingling through your boots and it feels like a broken piece of glass is lodged in your foot, how does it feel now that it's gone?
"i askes my self"
Am I moving or is my life at a standstill right now?
wandering through an island of memories all while felling happy yet why am I having trouble breathing?
Why is the calm breeze turning blue? It's killing me.
Will I make it through it?
It's still unclear if I'm the victim or the perpetrator, and whether anyone will come to my rescue.
Yes, after all of the universe's tries, I finally gave up believing in love.'
Not full of expectation
Not guessing
Not asking
Not hopeful
Just let it go
What's destined
It's bound to happen.
Free, free, my love; You are free
to love as I love, or leave me.
Have I not nestled you in
every unbroken promise since
before the vow not to trust came
to fall beside another's name.
I love, love, love you. See?
I perceive it as destiny.
I folded in your Cheshire grin,
your tongue, a sword upon my lips.
Inside my soul, it is wrong. So wrong.
Praying still the night is long.
I will let you be released
first light in the morning.
Long ago since-memories of bliss
fade with each empty kiss.
You will walk away, my love
and so, to keep you, I give you up.
Some people need to find help for their short fuses
When you've tried everything you could,
And you can't hold on any longer
When you've pushed yourself too hard,
And now you can't breathe
Just let go
It's not easy and it doesn't get any simpler,
Sometimes you want to stay and endure
But there are days you'll feel all your energy being consumed
You'll feel torn and discouraged,
So just let go
It's not the end of the world,
Life must move on
Take a simple step and just live like never before
Because sometimes it's not worth staying
It's better to let go
I promise it will hurt,
The tears will surely burn
Until your eyes run dry
But at the end of the day you'll be fine
Cause it was easier to let go
Just let it go,
It takes days to heal
But a lifetime of regrets having made the wrong decision
If its a question about your happiness
Then just let it go.
Sometimes, it's better
To let things be, let one go
Don't fight for closure.
I see your tears fall
No worries, just let it go
It cleans face, light heart.
