Freedom.. If you let go of something

Is it because you've forgotten or because you stopped caring?

And do we ever truly let go of something? .. If reunited with what you thought you were no longer concerned with brings about emotion.. have you really let go or are you merely suppressing what you really feel?

Wow... I was referring to Pizza.. Its just that its been soo long since I had a slice. And while I thought I could handle it, my cousin just walked in with an Extra Large, Extra cheesy, delightful smelling pizza. Mmmm I could just taste it on my tongue... OH NO someone help

O well, that's what I get for trying to support a friend by doing their diet with them.

Sometimes we cling to something, pretending we let it go when really we are waiting for the first chance we get to grab it. I was with Aries 14 years and unhappy. I made excuses not to leave. When I faced my fear of being alone and stepped away, he wanted me back. I loved him but was not in love with him and didn't like him. I didn't know the difference. I had to give up old ways of thinking and old ways of behaving. I set me free to be me even though I didn't have a clue who that was anymore. I wanted to learn from the past and be friends with Aries. I learned to like and love myself again and I learned that what someone does or says is not all that they are. But he died before we could talk friendship. So I learned that it's important to put anger and hurt aside because time is always counting down.
Then I fell for Taurus. 5 years, pull and push, not an easy match for this Leo girl but very powerful connection. He didn't ask to go but our life choices did not fit. I set us both free, accepting a deep friendship in place of what I had thought would be my future. This time it was real love but different choices. And again, I learned that it's important to accept when something or someone is not what you want them to be. Because you don't get to choose who they are, that choice is theirs.
If you are stuck, you are also not really who you want to be either and you deserve better. The dream of being with someone who really loved me AND could really share my life in the same way I want and need to share meant enough that I did not want to cling to something or someone who no longer fit me or my life. I did not want to be angry or forget what was but I had to put it in context. growing means growing pains.
Taurus and I reunited after some time apart. His choices changed.Before we reunited I had already let go of the negative me, the me who is afraid to try, and the me who risks settling. People who mean something to you don't just fade away as if they never were. If it means enough to you that you don't want to live without it, chances are you should take a second look to make sure everything is healthy.

Jk about ^ 🙂 ..I'm glad that you've found yourself and have/are mastering the art of letting go. I agree giving up old patterns are starting keys to set anyone on a path to freedom. Thanks for sharing your story and words of wisdom

Sometimes, holding on would make us static. Static in a state of change and that is the worst of all. We wait,when life doesn't. And so we choose to let go and move on. We don't forget. We don't stop caring.

I've let things go when I finally came to the realization, no matter what I do or don't do, it's just not gonna work. At the time I do hope they will come around but it never happens because we never found solid ground. I later realized "hoping they'd come back" was simply part of the break up process and break ups suck. It takes courage to leave but it also opens the space for something better for you coming in down the road.

Feelings don't just go away and you don't stop caring but rather it hurt now than hold on and hurt more in the long run if you know a person or situation is no good for you.

Letting go, for me, simply means choosing not to let something effect me anymore.

Good or bad.

Letting go is the antithesis of suppression, imo.

You're not ignoring a feeling...you're literally choosing not to feel any way about it anymore.

That doesn't even make sense does it?
