Not giving up, just growing... Fjord Girl: “Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.”
I don't know who wrote that, but it applies to a few things going on in my life right now. Some things are not mean to be at all, some others are not meant to be at the present moment, maybe later. But letting go, of big things or little things, is a process we have to commit ourselves to. We don't give up hope when we let go, but we stop feeling miserable for the things we can't achieve. Inner peace, it's called.
When you're able to start letting go of something or someone after some peaceful thinking and reflection rather than after getting upset or emotional, that's when you understand you're finally growing. Does it make it easier? Nope, but at least you're able to stick to your guns because you're convinced it is for the better and not the result of pure emotion.
Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. I will quote Michael Kane in "The Weatherman": "The hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same." -- To be able to realize that and finally decide to do it, that's a big first step, a huge one.

Well if I wrote that I would have wrote it like this...
“Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that things "are" going to get "Better"...
Sorry...
I Hate Pessimists...
I'm opposite of that per se
