Letting Go

And one day, one moment, it hits. You just know. It's time to walk away. When you've stood there so long and it does nothing but hurt, it's time to let go. You're doing nothing but killing yourself. Waiting for changes that will never come. Or, maybe they will. But why wait in misery? Why wait at all for someone who won't wait on you? And then, slowly, and very painfully, you let go. You move on. You tell yourself it will be ok, even though you don't know how it could ever be ok. It doesn't feel like it now, but just think about how amazing it will feel down the road when you can look back and say, "It hurt like hell then, but just look at me now. Look how far I've come."
