Letting Go

I am no where near to being perfect, but neither are others and what I have learned through time, pain, and hurt is sometimes the people that hurt you is learning to let it go. I have been back stabbed, betrayed, and lost all faith in humanity, but I am human myself and came to the point where I had to learn to forgive, but also just letting it go. We may never understand the hurt we are faced with or why, but no matter what it may be we must let it go. I have been betrayed by my own family and for a while some would not even talk to me only because they did not agree with the choices I have made. Whether you agree or not I just wanted their support and at the time they thought they was protecting me, but when it was all said and done they were the ones that hurt me the most. I have chosen to forgive, but in the same breath I wasn't willing to let it go. I wanted them to realized the same hurt I felt when I needed them the most and all they did was turn their back on me. However, I would rather have them talk to me and have a relationship with me then hold bitterness or revenge. I finally learned to just let it go because a relationship with my family was more important then holding the situation over their heads. Its not my place to take revenge neither and though they may say they still think I have made a wrong choice in my life. I would make that same choice again over and over because deep down I know I have made the right decision. We may not agree with certain people with their choices, but we can't make that choice for them whether its the right one or not. We must give people space to make their own mistakes because if I would have made a wrong choice they would probably be the last people I would turn for help. We must consider that factor because you may end up losing someone that you really  care about. We must be there for them no matter their choices, but that doesn't mean you don't have to give your opinion neither, but sometimes the best option is to let it go.
