Is It Time To Let Go?
by Teresia Smith
I saw this quote the other day and found it interesting. “I used to think the worst thing in the world was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.” You may be in a relationship, hoping one day the other person will love you as much as you love them. Often, those in unhealthy relationships are hurt repeatedly but hang on thinking the abuser will change. Or they are caught up in their dream of what the relationship could be and are not willing to see what it truly is. Most of the scars on people’s hearts weren’t left there by strangers or their enemies; they were left there by the people who claimed to love them the most. You may think holding on is you being brave; however, letting go and moving forward takes more courage and will actually make you stronger – give you a more fulfilling life.
