well said

It is not as easy as most think it is to forget what you went through with an ex. It leaves marks on your soul and heart and it takes time to heal these wounds. some never heal. Well done.

Our entire life is built on growing, changing and letting go. Each minute that passes by leaves a past behind us. When it comes to relationships, and there is nothing there left to hold onto except one's own emotions, then certainly is it time to let it go. One can never fully move on until they seperate their mindset from what is over and done with and they can no longer have.

Great advice, well said.

Cheers,
Dan

it is a very sorrowing place
for anyone who lingers
in that emptyness...

Letting Go Is Crucial
in many aspects of life

Totally agree with JF below me, Rose, and I was about to say the same thing about the gentle and philosophical tone of this write. The biggest freedom we can grant ourselves starts on the inside with letting go and with an accepting forgiveness. So many need to let go and I guess there are also many who need to NOT live in denial. There is real agony in a relationship that is all but dead, and yet fear of moving on puts a termination on the hope of a better future for both parties... When it comes down to it, the "Better the Devil you know" adage is a very sad way to live out the gift of the one life we're given. Bless you for this. Your words are always a tonic and a balm. xx

It's not just the great advice, Rose, in this poem that attracts me but the way of expression...so positive and uplifting and not for a moment preachy or self-indulgent.

Wisdom message in this beautifully written poem, Rose!

Truth, Rose! But letting go sure takes a lot of courage sometimes. However, there really is no place to go but forward, and the past tends to be a heavy load. WEll done, my friend!

Anna

Let go of the past,
Tomorrow’s a brand new day.

I think most of us can relate, yet most of us often wait.

This is good advise but yes it often isn't easy to give up the past no matter how bad it is to move on...

Beautifully written, wise lady. Hang on to the happy memories,
but live for today. Love, gene,

well written-never forget, just let go!

Good writing; I'm still in love with a girl I broke up with in 1982.....

Some things, for some people, possibly for most people are so much easier say than actually to do. Wise, so truthful words, my good friend, but sometimes, most times, are easier to say than to do.
Your friend, Mark
