From love to letting go

Conclusion

As I reach the end of this journey, I find myself reflecting deeply on the myriad of emotions,lessons, and personal growth I've experienced. The chapters of this book have captured theessence of my struggle, heartbreak, and eventual healing. They are not merely recountings ofevents, but rather an exploration of the emotions that accompany love and loss.

 In Chapter 1: The Beginning, I shared the joy of meeting someone who would change my life. Itwas a time of pure happiness and excitement, where everything seemed possible. However, asthe story progressed into 

Chapter 2: The Blissful Times, it became clear that the initial joy of arelationship often blinds us to the potential pain that may follow. The beautiful moments, thelaughter, and the dreams we shared are memories I will always cherish. 

Chapter 3: The Revelation brought the painful realization that she didn't love me the way I lovedher. The conversations and confrontations during this time were heart-wrenching, and theemotional impact was profound. It was a moment of truth that shattered my heart but alsomarked the beginning of my journey towards understanding and acceptance. 

Chapter 4: Coping with Heartbreak delved into the daily struggles and emotional turmoil I faced.The nights were the hardest, waking up at 3 am, desperately checking my phone for a messagethat would never come. The memories haunted me, and the loneliness was suffocating. I foundsolace in my art, pouring my pain onto paper, creating drawings that spoke of my sorrow andlonging. Music, too, became a companion, with songs like Joji's "Glimpse of Us" resonatingdeeply with my feelings.

Chapter 5: The Long Journey of Suffering, I detailed the 2.5 years of emotional pain. Thestruggle to move on was real and persistent. I attempted various ways to distract myself, fromtraveling to new cities to engaging in activities I enjoyed. However, the memories of hercontinued to linger, making it difficult to truly let go. The realization that moving on is not adestination but a continuous process was a hard-earned lesson. 

Chapter 6: Learning to Let Go was a turning point. I began to understand that letting go is aform of love in itself. Aristotle once said, "The energy of the mind is the essence of life." Thisquote resonates with my journey. By redirecting my energy towards self-love and acceptance, Istarted to heal. It was about respecting her decision and finding peace within myself. TheBhagavad Gita also provided profound wisdom, teaching me that true freedom comes fromdetachment and living in the present. 

Finally, in Chapter 7: A New Beginning, I discussed the steps taken towards healing andrecovery. Traveling solo, meeting new people, and exploring new places helped me rediscovermyself. I found joy in simple things, like riding my bike, which I named Black Pearl, andimmersing myself in art. Setting new goals and working on my passions gave me a renewedsense of purpose.

To all the readers who may be going through similar situations, I want to share this message:healing is a journey, not a destination. It's about asking yourself the hard questions,understanding your emotions, and allowing yourself the time to process them. Love is not aboutpossession; it's about freedom. As I wrote in my diary:

It's not about getting love back from the girl you loved or still love, 

If she tells you she doesn't love you, she is right and she is the most honest. 

But why do I still love her?No, you don't love her; you are still happy looking into the past,You are still bound by the memories of her,You are still in the cage for her,So it's not true love. 

How do I truly love her?Love is another way of living life happily.Love is all about freedom; it doesn't bind you in a cage.Love is all about letting go; if she wants to go, don't bind her into your memories, let her go. 

But still, how do I let her go?If you really love her, just let her go; it's going to be difficult and hard.Love is never meant to be a cage; it's freedom.If you really love her, her happiness should be the reason for your happiness. 

If she is happy without you in her life, let her go. That's the purest form of love. 

Let her go... 

In the end, it's about loving yourself and letting go of what no longer serves you. Life is a seriesof moments, each teaching us something valuable. Embrace the lessons, cherish the memories,and always move forward with faith and hope. As the Bhagavad Gita teaches, "You have theright to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions." Livein the present, and let the past be a chapter that has shaped you, not one that defines you.

This book was never just about my life, what I went through, and how I went through it. It isabout the emotions I experienced. I have been an avid reader in the past, delving into books onpsychology and philosophy. One thing that came to mind when she left me was theoverwhelming emotion and pain, but on the other side, I also wanted to understand why this hurtso much. Life is all about asking yourself a lot of questions about your experiences. For me, asa college student, I was a huge fan of philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, and manymore. I started asking myself questions even before this relationship, such as what makes ushappy, what is life, what gives life meaning, and many more. This was the moment I feltcompelled to document my feelings and emotions.

Reflecting on my journey, I realize that the process of healing and recovery is deeply personaland unique to each individual. It's about finding what works for you, whether that's through art,music, travel, or something else entirely. The important thing is to keep moving forward, evenwhen it feels impossible. 

Rediscovering yourself and your passions is a crucial part of this process. It's aboutreconnecting with the things that make you feel alive and fulfilled. For me, this included travelingto new places, meeting new people, and exploring new hobbies. It was about finding joy in thesimple things and appreciating the present moment. 

Hopes and dreams for the future are essential as well. They give us something to strive for, areason to keep going. While it's important to set goals and work towards them, it's equallyimportant to remain flexible and open to new possibilities. Life rarely goes exactly as planned,and that's okay.

In conclusion, I want to leave you with a few final thoughts and reflections. Life is a journey filledwith ups and downs, joy and sorrow, love and loss. Embrace it all. Learn from your experiences,grow from your struggles, and never stop seeking happiness and fulfillment. Remember thewisdom of the Bhagavad Gita: "You have the right to perform your prescribed duties, but you arenot entitled to the fruits of your actions." Focus on the process, not the outcome. Love yourself,let go of what no longer serves you, and keep moving forward. You are stronger than you know,and the best is yet to come.
