"letting go doesn't mean giving up. it means moving on. it is one of the hardest things a person can do. starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. we feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. but as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. we are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. it means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so."

that struggle within me.
that urge t leave all these behind and jst go.
no matter how much i tried t express,
the voice of mine still went unheard.

seeing the happiness around me
makes me jealous.
i feel restricted.
yet there's nothing i could do.

its all retribution.
i strived hard at the expense of that.
and now because of that,
i'm grounded.

can i tell myself a little lie and force myself t believe that
its actually a blessing in disguise?
can i convince myself that i've made the right decision and
mock at the rest who are living in a world of absolute happiness?
