Letting go is hard sometimes. If you've invested time & energy into something, or someone, it makes it even harder. But there are situations where staying means not being allowed to grow or change, and very often what we need the most is to allow ourselves, or someone else, room to do something different. If you're staying where you hurt, or aren't treated well, you know deep down it's best to go. But that doesn't make it easy. Relationships hold us in, and different types of personalities stir up our emotions, good and bad. But, if your hands are busy holding on to the past, they can't be open to receive anything new.
