Really Moving On: Healthy Ways to Let Go and Find Closure

by Pierre Alex Jeanty

move on because you have to, because not doing so is robbing you of your happiness, peace, love.

You cannot move away from something until you stop holding it. If you are holding a door, you cannot just walk away from it. You either find the strength to drag it with you or you loosen your grip, free your hands from it and start marching away from it.

important to know who the real enemy is here. It’s not who hurt you anymore, it’s you against you. You against the old you, the broken you, the hurt you. That enemy can’t be fought, it has to be conquered.

You should not run away from feelings and emotions, you must process them.

Here’s the thing, forgiving them is an act of love towards yourself not them. Forgiving them is for you. It’s pulling yourself from under the weight of the situation to save your heart from getting clogged up by hate, anger, jealousy, and anything else that comes with being in your position. It’s making sure what happened to you has no control over you, your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and mind. When you don’t forgive, you hold the situation in, sometimes storing it deep into your heart where only certain triggers remind you that those feelings are there. It’s planting poison in a garden you want to grow love. When the situation exists in your thoughts, your memories, and is stored in your soul, it slowly gains a power that can even destroy you.

Not forgiving affects you in ways you will not realize. It can turn you into someone you never expected. When you don’t forgive, you walk around carrying resentment, a level of hate and hurt inside of you.
