“Holding on may sound like the brave thing to do, the right thing to do, but holding on doesn't make you strong. You hold on because you're afraid to lose something... an opportunity, a person, whatever it may be, but what happens when the thing you want so bad has already slipped through your fingers? When you look down at your tightly closed fists, and open them to find there is nothing left to cling to. That's when you know you need to be strong and let it go, and whatever's meant to be will fall into your hands.”
