Letting go is very hard and painful. The scariest part of letting go is as if almost everything you've invested toward it's like admitting you lived a lie

The concept of letting go someone or something is easier said than done.

When you invested so many time and emotion onto one thing or person it builds the emotional dam. Either it will left you feeling happy with all the emotional investment making you think that it was all worth it. Or the other way around, worse. That dam breaks when you let go of it and you feel at loss because everything was all for nothing leaving you to drown.

Yes I've heard. We should look the other way around. Let it go. If it was that easy then I wouldn't have all these thoughts. I wouldn't be staying up for days straight. I wouldn't be eating improperly. I wouldn't be an emotional mess. I wouldn't be like this.

When we have emotional investments, it's almost like an obsession. Even though you know there are other, wiser ways to live, you feel that if you turn your back on everything you've worked toward it's like admitting you lived a lie.
