Hurt, anger, resentment, bitterness, tired relationships, toxic relationships are just some of the things that are so hard to let go of that even though we may have moved on physically, they still play over in our minds, and if they are still playing in our minds, we haven’t let go yet.
If you find yourself thinking about or talking about something or someone and the negative emotions attached to it/them are still strong, you haven’t let go as much as you thought you had. Whatever or whoever it was is still affecting your life in a negative way.
Letting go is the only way to free yourself and move on once and for all.
