There is a big difference between giving up and letting go.
Giving up means selling yourself short.
It means allowing fear and struggle
to limit your opportunities and keep you stuck.
Letting go means freeing yourself from something
that is no longer serving you.
Giving up reduces your life.
Letting go expands it.
Giving up is imprisoning.
Letting go is liberation.
Giving up is self-defeat
Letting go is self-care.
So the next time you make the decision
to release something or someone
that is stifling your happiness and growth,
and a person has the audacity to accuse you
of giving up or being weak,
remind yourself of the difference.
Remind yourself that you don’t need
anyone’s permission or approval
to live your life in the way that feels right.
No one has the authority to tell you
who to be or how to live.
No one gets to decide
what your life should look like
or who should be a part of it.
No one, but you.
