WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU GOT TO LET THEM GO...



So its said that when you love someone you've got to "learn to let them go" like the song by STEVE B I'm quite sure somewhere, somehow many of you have stumbled apon these words...
So you're probably wondering if it makes sense to love someone but let them go right? Well...

LOVING SOMEONE ENOUGH TO LET THEM GO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 

It simply means that you love that person so much that you'd be prepared to sacrifice even your own happiness just for theirs.
There are many examples I could use but let's use this one,

For instance your partner gets a job offer in another country miles away, you're unhappy about it but if you truly and genuinely love that person you have to let him/her go. Yes I know letting go of the one person you truly love can be the most difficult thing for anyone to experience but as hard as it may be/seem sometimes it is necessary.

              "If you love someone let them go,
               For if they return, they were
              Always yours and if they dont, they
             Never were."   Kahlil Gibran


4 WAYS TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF LETTING SOMEONE YOU LOVE GO

  1. Face the pain- dont try to escape the pain, dont distance yourself from the world, it's been said that "time heals all wounds" I truly believe that this is true only if you allow yourself to go through the pain.
  2. Talk about it- talk to someone you trust and confide in. Get it off your chest,  when you bottle up your feelings it can create loads of tension in your body which can ultimately manifest as a disease or even worse, depression.
  3. Define your current reality- ask yourself this question, what is my current reality? Realise it quick and accept where you are in your current situation. Be honest with yourself ,your current reality is an effect on your thoughts. Create the right reality by letting the wrong ones go. Even if your situation is terrible the first step in improving it is acknowledging it for what it is.
  4. Let go- YES! Let it go, I know it's actually much easier said than done and right about now you're probably telling yourself it's too hard , well first things first..

  • Know your worth, what is your worth?
  • Do you want to live in the past? It's a horrible dark place, the only way to move forward is to let it go!. 
  • Dont beat yourself up about anything.
  • If crying out at the top of your lungs mean letting go, then so be it.
