Healing is a continuous choice of holding on, and letting go, until you realise setting them free is the greatest gift you could give them and yourself. So, if you find yourself falling back for them, do no fret. This is normal and what will inevitably lead you to finally letting go. It's not just about to find a peace again. It might take you a few tries, but that's what letting go is. It's letting go and the holding on again. It's trying to stand back up, only to fall back down.

Because, in the end letting go is the gift of freedom. Freeing them from who you need them to be and freeing yourself from your need to them. This is an act of liberation beyond yourself. It ripples into their lives as well (even if it doesn't mean to). It's creating an environment for everyone to win.
