“Our wishes are like tinder: the flint and steel of circumstances are continually striking out sparks, which vanish immediately, unless they chance to fall upon the tinder of our wishes; then, they instantly ignite, and the flame of hope is kindled in a moment.”

Agnes Grey, Anne Brontë

"Letting go
is like a
mental,
emotional,
and spiritual
delete button.
It doesn't change
what happened,
but
it removes
that event's power
to continue
hurting you.
Until you make peace
with
your difficult memories,
that pain
will continue to
bleed
into your current
and
future experiences."

We look before and after,
And pine for what is not;
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell
Of saddest thought.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You've got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.
