Am I still letting go or Have I let go?

You see, there might be just a slight difference in between Letting Go and Let Go, that tiny part matters.

Let Go. Two words, broad meaning. I read a lot of different explanation about this. Some might said that letting go means coming to the realisation that some thing or some people are just a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny. Or coming to the sense that sometimes it doesn’t mean that you don't care about a particular thing or a significant person anymore, it's just realising that the only thing that you really have control over is yourself, which means your mind, your feelings, and your soul.

When you find no solution to a problem, it’s probably not a problem to be solved. But, rather a truth to be accepted. - unknown

For me, I believe all they said are true. As simple as it sounds, letting go is easier said than done. That are a lot of things in this universe that we don’t expect to happen but happened anyway. Things we don't want to know but learned anyway. And people we thought we can’t live without but left anyway. So it all left us with no choice but to let go. Sometimes we just got to have to accept, take the lesson, and released all the weight from our shoulder, or in other words, let go. Sometimes it’s just too heavy to keep carrying it.

But what I’m trying to emphasise here is the question, are you still letting things go or have you let go of those? Letting go means you are still in the process of it. You haven’t fully accepted the truth, but you already acknowledge the fact that you have to wake up and arise, and you are slowly setting yourself free. You slowly decided that you won’t carry that burden anymore. While let go means you have revealed the truth, and it might not be what you wanted, but along the way you have mindfully accepted it and moved on with your life. You have recognised the bitterness of life, instead of being drowned at it you strengthened yourself, you prepared yourself to face a bigger obstacles out there.

Neither you have let go of things or still trying to let it go, you are good. You are bright, you are kind, you are a loving human being. You might already bored hearing this, but trust me what they said about people and their own pace of time is true. You are walking in your own time. No one’s chasing you. You are the only person who knows when to start and when to stop. You are thoughtful. You know your strength and you are strong enough that you could be whatever you are today. You might not ready to start now cause your heart still lingers in some memories, or you’ve let go of a lot of weight from your past by the time you read this. Just love the process, and you will thank yourself later.

Just one reminder, happiness comes in a package with other emotions. Could it be sorrow, anger, joy, fear, etc.

If you’re happy, maintain it.

If you’re angry, figure out a way to release it in a way that is harmless.

If you’re sad, let yourself hurt.

Then let it go.

Stay present. Let’s keep learning.
