Letting go. Two words which possibly sum up to one of the hardest acts one can perform. Nothing is forever, everything comes to an end. And we humans eventually have to succumb to letting go of something possibly precious. It may be parents letting go of their baby to let it take its first steps apprehensively or them letting go of their child's two-wheeler bike so that he can cycle on his own for the first time. This follows them letting go of their child as he or she goes to college or enters adulthood and gets married to start his or her own family. We let go of things everyday. Small and big, tangible objects or thoughts. Everything.
But somehow emotions get you tangled in a string of thoughts which tie you back from doing what's right. And when you finally let go, your heart sinks and you drop to your knees helplessly. But sometimes it is a necessity. Because you know deep down that letting go will be for the better. Somehow, somewhere. So we let go of this feeling and dear thoughts and we head on to repeat the cycle again. Nothing's forever as we like to believe. And nothing's always ours. We have to remember that everything is a gift from God and it is never within our power to hold God's given things forever. We merely loan them. So we let go when the time comes. And we cherish every memory that we had while it lasted.

Yeah...letting go can be one of those 'life's most difficult challenges'.
When I was younger, I used to resent the fact that my parents hold on to me so tightly...now I understand that they simply find it difficult to let go.
Now that I finally have some 'letting go' that I have to do, I realise that it is sometimes easier said than done. Your heart always sinks and bleeds...everytime...and it does take a lot of strength and faith to let go of things you wanna keep by your side every moment of the day.
