Hard thing Quote by Heather Lyons

“Letting go is a hard, hard thing. Some days, it seems impossible. Stubbornness sets in, heels dig firmly into the dirt below us, and fingers refuse to uncurl from something so precious to one’s heart even if by a centimeter. Other days, though, it’s a fervent wish.” quote by Heather Lyons
