About This Quote
When it comes to the complicated emotions surrounding a breakup, letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. In fact, it's the exact opposite. It means realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself. Everyone else is out of your control — your ex, your friends, even your parents.
That means you don't have to live in fear of hurting someone else's feelings and making them mad at you. You don't have to create awkward situations and tense arguments because you don't want to do something that would hurt your ex's feelings.
