Letting Go Isn’t Harsh… It’s Healing!

One of the hardest parts of growth is realizing that not every relationship is meant to last forever.

I used to struggle with the idea of cutting people off. It felt harsh, like I was abandoning someone or thinking I was “better.” But over time, I realized something: holding on too tightly can actually cause more harm than letting go.

There comes a point in our growth journey where we have to reassess the people we keep around us. Are they aligned with who we’re becoming? Are they supporting us, or enabling old habits?

It’s easy to hold on out of guilt. Or history. Or hope. However, the truth is, when we cling to misaligned relationships, we stunt each other’s growth. We become lifelines to patterns that need to change.

Here’s the reframe that changed everything for me: Sometimes, removing yourself isn’t selfish, it’s mutual. Your silence might be the wake-up call someone else needs. Your distance might give both of you room to reflect and grow.

Walking away with love is still love. And choosing yourself doesn’t mean you’ve given up on others, it just means you’re prioritizing alignment, honesty, and evolution.

This mindset doesn’t come easy. But it comes with peace.

So if you’ve been feeling the weight of a connection that no longer fits, maybe it’s not a betrayal to let go.
