Did I ever tell you about the day I finally let go of him? That day that led me to you?

About This Quote

When a person is in a relationship, they can either hold on or they can let go. The problem with holding on is that it is a negative force that pulls the other person farther away from you. It is a downward spiral of misery and sadness. By letting go, however, the other person is free to be the best version of themselves.

They are not held back by your negativity and work toward their own happiness, no matter what the cost to you. In this quote, the speaker is letting go of a relationship that had been dragging him down for too long. He is also looking ahead to his new relationship with someone else.
