It was so hard to let something go. Your friends, partner, and even your dreams could go. The universe couldn’t see how hard you try to hold them, to achieve them, to be with them. It’s too naive if we believe that we can always be with them. The fact that we can’t do anything with it sucks. It feels like we already do anything for it but it turns out like we do nothing for it. So it’s time to learn to let them go.

Destiny always wins.

A quick story, I had a super close friend then but now she’s my dorothea. I kept thinking such like, “What did I do wrong?” or “Am I a bad person?” etc. Since I never had an answer about those questions, I start to blame myself.

The second one, I failed to go to my dream university that I want since I was a kid. Again and again sometimes I blame myself for not study harder. I kept thinking that it must be nice to get accepted there.

Those two stories have a similarity. I always ended up blaming myself if something turns out bad, especially when I need to let go something. But actually I start to think that, maybe that’s my destiny? Maybe I’m not a bad person, we just have our own path to our success and it was different. Maybe I already study harder, but God has something more than what I called “dream university”.

And maybe, maybe it for my best.

Let. It. Go.

Yeah I know it’s hard. Accepting something that we don’t want takes time. But the only thing that we could do from it is evaluate and let it go. If u know what’s wrong with you, be better. Stop blaming yourself. Blaming yourself just wasting your time and u get nothing from it except negativity. I personally feels better when I believe in God’s plan. It’s easier to accept if we believe that God knows better than us. And yeah people makes mistakes so just like what Dory said, “Just keep swimming!”

Let it go — Evaluation — Try our best — Pray and believe in God’s plan — Repeat.

Trust me, the moment when you’re finally accepting it is everything. Aren’t you tired of do nothing except blaming yourself? And beside that, is not good for yourself. You need to move on. Life goes on. Your watch still ticking, your heart keeps beating, your lungs keeps breathing, and also your life. You still have time to spend.

For all of u that still fight for something, please do your best. No one ever prepared for let something their love go. I believe that destiny comes with our effort. But if you’re forced to let them go, like what I said earlier, all we could do is evaluate and let it go.
