Choices Quote by Anonymous

“Holding on and letting go, are almost the same, both are difficult to do. Both are needed to fight for something. Holding on, you are fighting against the world, and letting go, you are fighting against yourself. The only difference is how you make it, and how you think of each uses and value.” quote by Anonymous
