Learning to Let Go

There comes a time when you begin to learn things. 
When you no longer see things they way you once did as a child, an audience or a student. 
It's when you're somehow the teacher and the learner. 
It's when you experience it all first hand. 
When you feel everything. 
Every last bit of it. 
It's exhausting as it is recovering. 
It is horribly ugly while it's divinely beautiful. 
It hurts. 
And it heals.
It is the most real thing a human can feel, know--
To let go and move on. 
Understand that every person is beautiful, even the ones that hurt you, but it's the ones you don't have to say painful goodbyes to, the ones that make you stay and make you feel beautiful that are worth paying close attention to. Let them steal your heart, not the ones who don't know what to do with it or how much it's worth. 
Learn to let go
Even when it hurts you so deeply. 
There a few words I know but there are thousands that I feel more deeply than I can say. 
But the few I do remember are these: 
"Have courage
and be kind."
It always pays off. 
And always comes back. 
...

Let go.
