I am sure that Pisces isn't the only sign that has issues letting go, but I know we are probably the worst. I am trying to to let someone go. Not that anything bad is happening. Just need to give this person space to work on some things and I need to do the same. How do you just walk away for someone that you care about?? I find myself thinking of this person often. I
have my fears and insecurities about it.. but at the same time, I've got to let go. How do you deal when you go thru this?

Thanks.

Walking away is very easy... it's stopping myself from ricocheting back that's the problem😄

I find ways to distract myself or bury myself in work - you know, replace one addiction with another. Cause if I don't I'll run right back to them knocking their door down through sheer desperation to see them lol.

Shortii,
You're kidding, right? For a Pisces, walking away is not hard, at all. Maybe for some of the un-evolved type fishes, they'll stay and take all of the undeserved punishment, but not me. If I feel that it ain't worth it, then it ain't worth it.

This is when you've gotta pull out the old hefty "Love quotes" books!

The books that remind you that:

*If it's meant to be, it'll happen.

*If you tell yourself you can, you will. But if you tell yourself that you can't do something, you're right.

*Everything that happens, happens for a reason.

*When 1 door closes, it's b/c 2 more are about to open. Instead of focusing on the already closed door, turn your energy & attention to the 2 doors that are about to open...It almost always happens that the newer doors have something better to offer you anyways =)

*When you're truly focused on yourself & "doing you," you'll be so BUSY that you won't even have time in your schedule to harp on someone else!

*Never be mad at the Ahole who let you go. If anything, THANK him & be grateful that he just led you 2 steps closer to finding/being with the guy who is TRULY meant for you =)

How do you let go? You just do. You make an effort to let go just like you made the effort in the beginning to latch on. It's a mental thing. Again, if you tell yourself that you can't, you won't. But if you tell yourself that you will, you will =)

Hope that helped!

"Also, if you let them go, did they return? And if so, what happened when they did? XOXO"

I have never had a man that did not return to me rather he broke it off or rather I broke it off. What mattered though is what place I was in when he returned. Usually not in the place I was initially in..So in saying that he got nothing..With the exception if one maybe two guys..

You brought up a very good point. What place i was in when he returned. I have to really focus on that. Thanks Star. :-)

U r correct, Tony. Im not being punished at all. I think it's more so of is it worth the effort. I dont want to make any rash decisions especially if it's unfounded. :-)
