The battle that we face when trying to let go of someone is whether we should listen to our minds or feel what our heart knows to be true. We make excuses.
We try to find closure. We overthink. We spiral. But the art of letting go is not choosing between the mind and heart, it's leveraging both by choosing to surrender.
It's feeling compassion for what your mind wants and what your heart knows to be right. It's coming to terms with the fact that the person you're trying to distance yourself from was merely a supporting role in the chapters of your past life.
It's allowing your mind to say, "They'll always hold a special place within me," and your heart replying, "Indeed, but there is more out there."
