CaliGuy Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 In a nutshell. the longer you take to "let go" the longer you hang on to resentment. When you resent someone or a situation, they or it CONTROL YOU. You give them all the power when you give in to hate, resentment or any other type of negative emotion. Accepting the situation for what it is and resolving to improve yourself is important. But so is forgiveness. Forgive them, accept it, let it go and move on. You'll heal a lot faster. I am not saying FORGET how they treated you and trust is something that is built over time. If you get back together, trust must be rebuilt, brick by brick. But if you don't forgive them and let it go, moving on with someone new (and possibly better) is impossible and so is a recocilliation. Don't give in to resentment. It will control you and give them all the power. Reclaim your self-respect and personal power. It's the only way you can heal. If you truly want to be happy, you MUST let go.
