“Letting go does not mean you are giving up. It simply means that you have tried all you can and it just never seems to move forward and in the midst of it all you become a standstill and fail to recognize who you really are and your surroundings begin to feel unfamiliar.You can't focus on things that are getting nowhere. As big as your heart is sometimes you just have to let go and focus on yourself and those around you that are important in your life...Not saying that those that you are letting go are not important it's just that perhaps they are not ready to move forward. One can go on and on trying to help others and bring peace but if they are not ready it can't be done. You need to guard and protect your own heart”
