Let Go

There are times when you feel like you need to just let go. Let go of everything. The memories. The emotion. The crying. The laughing. The negatives. The positives. The people. The thoughts. The words. The life. You know what, then? Let go.

You need to let go of the OCD, because you just cannot bother about keeping the right thing at the right place every single time. You need to let go of the neatness, because you can’t help but be messy. You need to let go of the person you’re trying to be, because you are just so tired of trying, and constantly failing. You need to let go of caring about what people say, because you are so sick of it that it fails to trouble you anymore. You need to let go of the pressure, because the heat is on, the dish is done and the cooker’s ready to whistle. It’s okay. Let go.

You want to travel to places you have always dreamed of going to, because they remind you of a part of yourself you never knew existed. You want to step aside from the limelight, because the luminosity is giving you a headache. You want to move away from the world and be alone, because let’s face it, you are awesome and what better company to have than that of oneself? You want to read books and drink coffee all day while sitting in the rain and destroying those plates of fries, because you want to get to know yourself. You want to listen to your favourite playlist and sleep for as long as you desire, because you want to enjoy the gentle pleasures of life. Guess what? You can. Let go.

Discover yourself, because no one is more important than yourself. Be selfish, because no one is more important than yourself. Treat yourself with your favourite food, because no one is more important than yourself. Rid yourself of all the guilt, the dispiriting musings and the negative emotions and give yourself a break, nobody deserves it more than you do, because no one is more important than yourself. Live your life the way you want, and love the life that you live, because no one is more important than yourself. Let go.

You are the most important thing in your life. You are your best friend. You are The One for you. You are who you want to be. You are the best. Life is short, but it is your job to make it as long and worthwhile as possible. You know what they say about life, right? Always pick a short, adventurous one over a long, monotonous version. Well, guess what? You are the tool that can make your life both adventurous and long. Let’s do that. Let’s go. Let go.

Bring ‘I’ ahead of ‘you’. Why? Because it’s your life. Live it your way. Do what you love, and love what you do. Make time for the absolute pleasures of your soul. You live but once, and make the most of what you have. Love yourself first because you know what? It’s time. Let go.
