Moving on is not that easy but it is part of life that we must face. Most of us have experienced painful and unpleasant memories we donít want to dredge up once more. Hanging on to those memories can destroy life in so many ways. Itís hard to let go but you have to, because there are certain things that you have to leave behind in order to start again. It is not always holding on that makes us stronger but rather, it is the essence of letting go.
