Let It Go – Part Deaux
Letting go is hard at first. Letting go is a process, but if you practice it daily, you can do it.
I haven’t always been the calm and sweet woman I am now. I admit there are times when I might slip back into that I don’t give a d*** mode because some man I’ve encountered is showing me that he’s full of B.S.
When my ex-boyfriend showed his a** and hurt me beyond words it took me a minute (okay more than minute) but eventually I had to let go of the anger and move on. Before I let go of the anger, I was hard on men. I allowed my built up frustrations to be taken out on unsuspecting men. If the guy didn’t do exactly what I wanted, he could hang it up. The new guy didn’t stand a chance. I eventually got over my anger and became the loving and kind woman that I am today:
- one who doesn’t settle for less than I deserve (It’s important to know your worth…another blog topic)
- one whose tolerance for B.S. is nil, but yet
- one who can appreciate a good man who has respect for women
If you live long enough you’re going to experience some things–good and bad. I don’t know one person above the age of 18 that doesn’t have baggage. It’s what you decide to do with that baggage that matters. Are you going to let it weigh you down? Are you going to put it to the side and keep on moving?
Whatever a person decides to do, in order to move on and be happy with self and the opposite sex, Letting Go is a must.

Letting go is definitely a must! It can be very hard to do, but until you do, you are hurting yourself and others.
“until you do, you are hurting yourself and others.”
Renee, so true. Letting go is more for yourself than the other person.
As Madea said if you can’t forgive the other person forgive yourself let it go and move on and thrive to be your very best.
That is a lesson that is hard to learn. It was so much easier to hold onto the anger. I think part of it is a fear of repeat actions from someone else.
Amen. I agree with you! Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. I’ve had to let go of a lot just to move on and be happy.
Tina – Madea is so right.
LaShonda – Fear can hinder us from moving on.
Linda – forgiveness is the perfect gift.
