- This piece was therapeutic. I always thought I struggled to let go of hurtful situations, pain, relationships, etc.. I realised through time, conversations and self-reflection that I wasn't holding on to those things with the hope of solving them, I was holding on to the versions of myself that had gone through the heartache. This action of holding on felt more familiar and comfortable than letting go; I would have situation play over & over in my head, it felt like a loop with no beneficial aspects. Learning to let go of parts of myself so that I could heal has been a journey far from linear and full of fear. I have decided to let go regardless of being afraid. I have been rewarded with peace & growth. I realise that everyone has their own "it" that they hold on to. I wish this endless journey to Peace for all. Let the past be the past, clear your heart. Let it go.
