Letting go of bad memories

• 

  This is a common habit that a lot of people tend to struggle with. It is very understandable that it’s hard to let go of such valued memories and feelings because of the history behind every story told. This case is often noticed in past relationships whether it’s romantic or friendship ones. “Why is it so hard to let go?” This is the question that usually gets asked by a lot because not many are ready to let go. A thought of “maybe they’ll come back…” is a normal expectation to have because everyone has feelings, and it’s valid. We just have that lingering desire that they may actually come back, but does hurting yourself more with these sad thoughts make you grow as a person? The answer is no. Because sticking to memories that just bring bitter feelings never help out on anything but lead to overthinking and having the emptiness inside of you. Learning to slowly let go of the past, will give you a better tomorrow because of the amount of positivity and happiness you would feel. Focusing on becoming a better you would bring peace into your life and give space for better memories to live in. We all must learn to forgive and it doesn’t always mean it has to be verbal, but forgiving others silently will lighten the weight you have on your back.
