This might not sound popular…
And some might say it’s a little harsh…
But the reality is, when you find it hard to let go of something that happened in the past, it’s usually because you’re getting something out of it in the present.
This is especially true in relationships.
Holding on to a “victim story” can give you attention, compassion, sympathy, even entitlement or self-righteousness.
And while those things may feel comforting, they also keep you from the love and joy you really want.
The truth is, you can’t step fully into freedom and lasting connection while still clinging to the old story.
At some point, you have to decide what matters more…
Do you want to keep the comfort of the familiar?
Or do you want to open yourself to the happiness waiting on the other side?
When you let go, you stop surviving your story and start living your life.
So let me ask you, what story might you be ready to release?
