Letting GoReporter Jerome Atputhasingam offers some advice on letting go... Letting go is probably one of the hardest things that any human has to do. it always ends up happening after something that is really positive, and all of a sudden you are left naked in the pouring rain, feeling alone, not knowing what to do next. No one ever wants to let go of something or someone special, but sometimes you have absolutely no control over it. The question then is not whether you can get it back, but rather what you need to do next. Yet there is such negative connation to the phrase "letting go" probably because it causes every individual a lot of pain. But I think it is very important to realize that you never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind. Good-byes are challenging, but good-byes make you think. They make you realize what you've had, what you've lost and what you've taken for granted. The greatest difficulty of letting go is not that you don't understand how to do it, but the simple fact that you know it is time to move on, but there is no place for you to go to. Yet we must learn to let go, to give up, to make room for the things we have prayed for and desired. When one door closes some other door has to and will open.
