I think, and have felt, to let go is one of the hardest things to do. There is a strong tumultuous and self-destroying nature to hold onto feelings that devour you. May be we imagine it'll get better, it'll reverse but fail to realize that letting go is the only way to make it better.
Simple words but so very difficult to implement!
