Something's gotta give, something's gotta break
But all I do is give and all you do is take
Something's gotta change, but I know that it won't
No reason to stay, is a good reason to go...

Song lyrics : Artist Camila Cabello

Everyone goes through hell, but not everyone stays there. Stop tormenting yourself by reliving the pain over and over. Good people go through terrible things, but wise people know when and how to let it go.

— Bryant McGill

Sometimes you just have to turn the page to realize there is more to your book of life than the page you are stuck on. Stop being afraid to move on. Close this chapter of hurt, and never re-read it again. It is time to get what your life deserves, and move on from the things that do not deserve you. Do not spend your days trying to correct your past, instead let go and let God create something better for your future.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening. — Heather Hepler

Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to never look back.

We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven’t done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold! After all that’s life, learning to hold on and learning to let go.

Sometimes you don’t feel the weight of something you’ve been carrying until you feel the weight of its release.

That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.

The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think.

The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.

No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.

But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.

All battles in life serve to teach us something, even the battles we lose.

Paulo Coelho

Here are ten signs it’s time to let go:

1- Someone expects you to be someone you’re not.

Don’t change who you are for anyone else. It’s wiser to lose someone over being who you are than to keep them by being someone you’re not. Because it’s easier to mend a broken heart than it is to piece together a shattered identity. It’s easier to fill an empty space in your life where someone else used to be than it is to fill the empty space inside yourself where YOU used to be.

2- A person’s actions don’t match their words.

Everybody deserves somebody who helps them look forward to tomorrow. If someone has the opposite effect on you, because they are consistently inconsistent and their actions don’t match up with their words, it’s time to let them go. It’s always better to be alone than to be in bad company. True friendship is a promise made in the heart – silent, unwritten, unbreakable by distance, and unchangeable by time. Don’t listen to what people say; watch what they do. Your true friends will slowly reveal themselves over time.

3- You catch yourself forcing someone to love you.

Let us keep in mind that we can’t force anyone to love us. We shouldn’t beg someone to stay when they want to leave. That’s what love is all about – freedom. However, the end of love is not the end of life. It should be the beginning of an understanding that love sometimes leaves for a reason, but never leaves without a lesson. If someone truly loves you, they will never give you a reason to doubt it. Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you, but it takes someone really special to stay in your life and prove how much they love you. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the right person, but the right person is always worth the wait.

4- An intimate relationship is based strictly on physical attraction.

Being beautiful is more than how many people you can get to look at you, or how others perceive you at a single glance. It’s about what you live for. It’s about what defines you. It’s about the depth of your heart, and what makes you unique. It’s about being who you are and living out your life honestly. It’s about those little quirks that make you, you. People who are only attracted to you because of your pretty face or nice body won’t stay by your side forever. But the people who can see how beautiful your heart is will never leave you.

5- Someone continuously breaks your trust.

Love means giving someone the chance to hurt you but trusting them not to. When you completely trust a person, without any doubt, you’ll automatically get one of two results – a FRIEND for life or a LESSON for life. Either way, there’s a positive outcome. Either you confirm the fact that this person
cares about you, or you get the opportunity to weed them out of your life and make room for those who do. In the end, you’ll discover who’s fake, who’s true, and who would risk it all for you. And trust me, some people will totally surprise you.

6- Someone continuously overlooks your worth.
When you give yourself to someone who doesn’t respect you, you surrender pieces of your soul that you’ll never get back. There comes a point when you have to let go and stop chasing some people. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll find a way to put you there. Sometimes you just need to let go and accept the fact that they don’t care for you the way you care for them. Let them leave your life quietly. Letting go is oftentimes easier than holding on. We think it’s too hard to let go until we actually do. Then we ask ourselves, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

7- You are never given a chance to speak your mind.
Sometimes an argument saves a relationship, whereas silence breaks it. Speak up for your heart so that you won’t have regrets. Life is not about making others happy. Life is about being honest and sharing your happiness with others.

8- You are frequently forced to sacrifice your happiness.
If you allow people to make more withdrawals than deposits in your life, you will be out of balance and in the negative before you know it. Know when to close the account. It’s always better to be alone with dignity than in a relationship that constantly requires you to sacrifice your happiness and self-respect.

9- You truly dislike your current situation, routine, job, etc.

It’s better to be a failure at something you love than to succeed at doing something you hate. Don’t let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of going after yours. The best thing you can do in life is to follow your heart. Take risks. Don’t just make the safe and easy choices because you’re afraid of what might happen. If you do, nothing will ever happen. Chances must be taken, mistakes must be made, and lessons must be learned. It might be an uphill climb, but when you reach that mountaintop it will be worth every ounce of blood, sweat and tears you put into it.

10- You catch yourself obsessing over, and living in, the past.

Eventually you will overcome the heartache, and forget the reasons you cried, and who caused the pain. Eventually, you will realize that the secret to happiness and freedom is not about control or revenge, but in letting things unfold naturally, and learning from your experiences over the course of time. After all, what matters most is not the first, but the final chapter of your life, which unveils the details of how well you wrote your story. So let go of the past, set yourself free, and open your mind to the possibility of new relationships and priceless experiences.

When I read this post it gave me the reflection on what should I do. I have not made any decision yet but I have some insight that I keep in mind. It is not only for my current relationship but also for the other aspect of my life.

Sometimes it's too tiring when you are the one who keeps on forgiving and they keep on doing the same mistakes all over again. Let go of people who aren't worth your time and efforts. Better give it to people who are so willing to do the same for you.

Out of all the people I fell in love with, you were the one who I pictured a life with. Not any life, but the life I’ve always wanted. You were the one that I felt something with I have never felt before. You were the one whose with, it made sense. You were the one of my dreams. You were a wish that came true too soon. A dream that turned to a nightmare, a disappointment, a heartache.

Please believe me when I say that I forgive you. I don’t hate you but I most definitely hate the way you let me go. And I’ll never understand how easily you did it. I’ll never understand how flawlessly you forgot about me. But, I forgive you because I really loved you. I forgive you because I don’t want to give you power over the person I am and the future I could possibly have. I forgive you because I don’t need you to tell me what the truth is. I forgive you because that’s just who I am.

This is me letting you go for good. I’m accepting the fact that you belong with someone else. That someday, you’ll be waking-up next to someone who isn’t me. And that someday you’ll be someone’s everything. I’m letting go of hope that you’ll contact me. So, I’m blocking you everywhere. I’m letting go of fantasizing that you’ll tell me you’re sorry about everything just one last time. That you’ll tell me how much you missed me, but most importantly, that you’ll show it. I’m letting go of my desire that you’ll let me in, not half-way, not sort of but completely. I’m letting go of me thinking that you’ll come back because it’s always been me. I’m letting you go. And it’s not because I don’t love you still.

I’m letting you go because I want to be happy. I know that without you, I am not happy. But, I also know that with you I am not happy either. So I need to find my medium place where I am happy regardless. A place without memories of you in it, a place without a picture of you in it as well. I need to start over.

I’m letting you go because you gave-up. You gave-up on me, you gave-up on us, you gave-up on love. And so I get it when you said you had nothing to fight for. I’m letting you go because loving you has no meaning if it only stinks, if it only pains me. Because I can’t tell what’s real anymore. And because it’s my last resort. I’m letting you go because slowly but surely you too, let me go.

When a relationship is over, leave. Don't continue watering a dead flower.

Even if it ends badly, it's worth it. If it made you feel something, it taught you something.

Don't cry over the past, it's gone. Don't stress about the future, it hasn't arrived. Live in the present and make it beautiful.

Breakups hurt, but losing someone who doesn't respect you is actually a gain, not a loss.

He's gonna be so sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past, forget the pain, and remember what an incredible woman you are.

I think the hardest part of losing someone isn't having to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. Always trying to fill the emptiness that’s left inside your heart when they go.

Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

Dalai Lama

It's not the breakup that hurts most..it's the post trauma that follows it. It's waking up and checking up your cell phone for the message that isn't there..it's like starting your life over again and you have no idea where to begin..

Crying over a guy? Nah, pick your head up princess. Your tiara is falling.

There's going to come a time when you learn to be heartless, only to protect yourself.

It might hurt to walk away but that will never compare to the pain of staying. Don't let fear of being alone keep you in a relationship where you are alone.

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than hurt yourself trying to put it back together.

After a break up, the loyal one stays single and deals with the damages until healed. The other one is already in another relationship.

Never get jealous when you see your ex with someone else, because our parents taught us to give our used toys to the less fortunate.

The people that are quick to walk away are the ones who never intended to say.

Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

Just because something ends doesn't mean it never should've been. Remember, you lived, you learned, you grew and you moved on.

Eventually, you'll end up where you need to be, with who you're meant to be with, and doing what you should be doing.

And maybe, for now, a happy ending doesn’t include a relationship. Maybe it’s you, on your own,
picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just moving on.

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.- Steve Maraboli

Let it hurt. Let it bleed. Let it heal. And let it go. —Nikita Gill

Let go of the things that can no longer be fixed. If you force yourself to try and put them back, things will only get worse. Holding on is being brave, but sometimes moving on makes you even tougher.

Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.

Deborah Reber

Sometimes, people will just let you go. People will just let you go without telling you. People will just let you go without even noticing they've let you go. They stop thinking about you every day. They stop texting you "good morning" when they first wake up in the morning. They stop replying to you because they have nothing much to say to you. They stop looking forward to the next time they're gonna see you. They stop placing you at the center of their attention. They stop making enough time to spend with you. They stop caring as much as they used to until they eventually don't care for you anymore. Once you've realized they've let you go, you find yourself slowly letting them go as well and eventually, you stop waiting for them to reply to you. You stop allowing them to take up so much space in your life. You stop making an effort to be a part of their day. You stop expecting them to come back to you with an apology. You stop needing them to be happy. You stop worrying about whether or not they're okay. You stop loving them because you now have nothing left to love yourself with. You accept that you're no longer a part of their lives and they're no longer a part of yours, and you move on. Everybody will tell you that's how it goes, but nobody will tell you how much it hurts.

People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past. - Nicholas Sparks

People come and go, but life is simply about seeing who cares enough to stay.

No matter what is going on in your life today, remember, it is only preparation. People come and go; situations rise and fall; it’s all preparation for better things. You must stretch, reach, grow into your goodness. Without the preparation we receive through adversity, disappointment, confusion, or pain, we could not appreciate the goodness when it arrives. -Iyanla Vanzant

People come and go, pain comes and goes. But so does joy. And if our hearts are closed because we don't want to suffer, they won't be open enough to recognize the joy as it flies by. -Geneen Roth

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

Some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go.

People come and go. Everyone that's been in your life has been there for a reason, to teach you, to love you, or to experience life with you.

Nobody is worth stressing over. People come and go. Move on and go find yourself, the world is yours. Life goes on.

People come into your life and go, but you will always have to live with yourself. Make yourself pleasant, positive, and peaceful. -Akin Olokun

People come and go in your life, but the right ones will always stay.

It’s never easy for a good woman to walk away; especially after she’s invested so much of herself into making it work. Just know, that by the time she finally decides to leave, she’s given you countless chances and debated the idea, over and over in her head, at least 1000 times. She’s exhausted; she’s frustrated and totally heartbroken to have to walk away from a man who, deep down inside, she still loves and is still willing to fight for.
Mr. Amari Soul

Stop ignoring actions and trusting words. Stop giving your all to a person who gives you nothing. Stop hanging on to someone who has let go of you. Stop expecting change from a person who doesn’t want to be changed. Stop letting the fear of loneliness cause you to settle for less than what you deserve. Stop letting the wrong reasons keep you in a relationship that isn’t right for you. Stop breaking your own heart.

Trent Shelton

Never beg someone to love or be with you, because when you do, you give them the power to use and walk all over you. When someone truly loves you, their actions will show and prove it to you, and you will never have to convince or beg them to love or be with you.

Never beg to be loved.

Don't try to force things with him, you can't force consistency. You can't force attention. You cant force effort. You can't force chemistry. You can't force understanding. You can't force patience. You can't force honestly. You can't force loyalty. You can't force commitment. You can't force a connection. The love that used to be there is no longer there and it hasn't been for awhile and as much as you want it back. You can't force it to happen because by forcing it, you're only making things worse. You are actually forcing other things to happen. You are only driving him further away you. You are only causing more distance between you two. You are only building more resentment towards one another. You are only giving more reasons not to care. You are only showing him how controlling you can be. You are only implying how desperate you are. Don't do that to him, but more importantly, don't do that to yourself. To you, you are fighting to make things work and to save the relationship, but the truth is you are only disappointing yourself when things don't meet the expectations you've set and that'll only hurt you more. Please, don't hurt yourself for someone who genuinely wouldn't affected to deeply if it were to end because it isn't worth and it stopped being worth it awhile ago and deep down, you know it did. He may love you enough to stay with you, but he doesn't love you enough to make you feel loved everyday anymore. And that's not someone you should waste anymore of yourself with. So, stop forcing love because it's either there or it isn't and if it isn't, you shouldn't be either. -Mfundo Lujiva

Never beg for love. Never beg someone to love you back or be with you when you want to. Never beg for someone’s time, commitment, affection and attention. Never beg someone to stay with you when you need him the most. Because in the first place, if he loves you that much, he won’t leave you and let go of your hand. He will never let you beg for his presence and love because he will give it to you with open arms. Don’t beg, it’s demeaning and degrading. Remember, if you have to beg, he’s not worth it. No one is worth begging for. -baekebyan

Never beg people to stay against their will. Sometimes the gift of goodbye opens another door for you. Move on, and create the next chapter of your life.

Never beg for a relationship. Be brave to accept the one who really wants to be with you and reject the one who just pretends to be with you.

Never for no reason beg someone to be your comrade or lover. if he or she doesn't see your value, peacefully move on to someone who will.

It's better to break your own heart by leaving, rather than having that person break your heart every day you're with them.
