one of the problems many humans face is the problem of letting go. be it a futile romance relationship, be it the past which you got hurt (i am not saying your past hurts are trival), be it an unfulfilled dream... etc.

i guess you are one of them? maybe you are. i know i am one of them. holding too tightly will end up hurting yourself, but we still do that, and refuse to let go sometimes. well the thing is, if we don't let go of somethings, we can never move forwards to a new future.

if you don't let go of a failed / one-sided (romantic) relationship, you will never be able to look forward to another one. if you dont let go of your unfulfilled dream, maybe you will end up wasting your life doing something you can never achieve. if you never let go of your past hurts, you will always be looking back and not dare to try out a new future.

i believe the Bible tells us to let go to. to forgive and forget. remember this famous command? why should we do that to the person who hurts us? at first this might sound demanding and strange. but the thing is if you don't forgive, your mind will always be thinking about that, and you cannot move forwards to the future properly. the same for forgetting the hurt. if you move to the future remembering all your hurts, you will not dare to try new things, and not enjoy life to the fullest. of course i have to say trying out new things also means you have to take caution and protect yourself against whatever or whoever may harm you.

letting go is hard. not everyone can do it. but there are times when we just have no choice but to let go. it may be a little painful, but i guess, once we get over it, it should be ok. so, try, and let go of the things you need to let go. so that you can move forwards to a new future.
