Letting go, I think, is one of the hardest things in life to do. Either letting go or standing up for yourself. In my case right now I really need to do both. I'm having issues with some people right now and standing up for myself comes into play first. I always become intimidated, scared, and talked down to when I am in this person's presence. But because I am intimidated I can't find it in me to stand up for myself. Plus, if I did it would open up a whole new rotten can of worms. So what is the reason to put myself through all of that when I can just deal with the issue as it is. This might not be making any sense to anyone, but it unfortunately makes sense to me.
The only way to help this problem go away is to let it go. It's really hard though. Even though this person has hurt me in ways I never thought possible I can't seem to just make her leave my mind. I worry all the time. I know it's not good, but it's to the point where I actually can't help it. If I could just let her go I think that I would be a lot better off. I've tried letting go before but then the next time I see her it's like the vicious cycle starts all over again. I've tried praying about it and everything. What I think the problem is though is I have been hurt so bad that I want to hold onto this bitterness and anger. But the more you think about it, it's really only hurting me, and I have to be willing to let go of that anger and bitterness or this will never get any better. How many times does a person have to get hurt?

Letting go...not my strong suit either. I think it gets to a point where you have to realize that it isn't your problem. This person is the way they are because of who they are. Do you really have time to worry about this person that has given you so much grief? Isn't there something better to worry about? Pray a bit longer and give it up. Life is way too short to hold grudges. You've done your part, now move on. If there is to be a friendship with this person, it will be once they have grown up a bit. If not, then I am sure you have lots of other people that love and respect you. Try to concentrate on those individuals that build you up and trust you, not those that keep cutting you down. You truly are a fabulous person and have a great future. I am hoping that you take advantage of all that is put in front of you and succeed in everything that you try.
