Letting Go

In relation to my last post, I guess goodbye can also mean to let go, -- may be temporarily, or may even be permanently. To let go means to not really forget, but to just move on, and keep moving forward. But, letting go has never really been easy for everyone, especially those who have really invested/worked really hard for what they want.

Some people always talk like letting go is that easy, but really, it isn't. The process goes like this: try not to live in the past, keep yourself busy all the time, and always try to stay positive, whatever happens. If ever you're reminded of the past, just think of it as a challenge for you to do better. It's like that every time, but when you're put in the situation, it can really challenge you.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, you will always be reminded of something from the past. You will always end up thinking of the "what if's" instead of the what already happened and what you can do about it.

The question that I have been asking myself for a long time now is, how can someone be happy, or at least try to be positive, when all that he ever wanted, everything that he dreamed of, just vanished in front of him? Yes, some things happen for a reason, and something better will always come after. But, has this really been proven? What if what you used to have is the one thing that can bring happiness in your life? What if it's still better compared to what comes next?

Life is just a cycle: some things enter our life, and at some point in our time, we just have to let go, no matter how hard it is. We will never learn the proper way of letting go, and we will always have those scars to remind us of how happy we were before, and how much it hurt when it's time to say goodbye.
