Sometimes you have to let go of the people you love in order to find your peace. And you know what? That’s okay.
Everyone you grew with doesn’t always continue to grow with you.
I use to have a hard time letting go of people. Especially those who have a title in my life. For some reason, I always thought a title was permanent. When in reality sometimes that title is only a part of a chapter of my life. Letting go used to be one of the hardest things for me to do until I realized my peace was way more important.
For years I put up with people and struggled with letting go of things because I thought there was way more value in them than there actually was. What I should have valued most was myself and my peace.
I find a lot of people struggle with letting go because they feel like they would be losing something valuable in their life. But if you have to question if a person or thing should be part of your life in the first place, then it may be worth letting go. If it doesn’t bring you peace, it definitely doesn’t have any value.
Often times, when something or someone has been a part of our lives for a long time, it’s hard to let go. The thought of not having it anymore scares us. We wonder how we’re going to live without it or if we even can live without it. But the question should really be, “Why have we accepted it when all it ever did was break us?”
Anything that doesn’t make you happy doesn’t deserve you.
What is meant for you isn’t always meant for everyone else. And that’s how a lot of us get stuck where we’re at. We want to share what is distinctly meant for us with those it wasn’t intended for. It’s okay to continue to grow without those who started the journey with you. And it’s not something you should ever feel guilty about.
Letting go is a part of growing, especially if they aren’t growing with you.
