“When you gave up on someone or on people, it doesn’t always mean you stopped loving him or her or them. Sometimes, what it means is you can’t pity yourself, tell you can carry on, forgive even nobody deserves forgiveness, wait for something that seems very impossible, hope that everything will eventually be alright, and fool yourself by believing your own lies anymore.
We give up not always because we are too weak to endure and persist, but sometimes because we are too emotionally exhausted, we want to end our suffering and give ourselves the self-love we deserve already.” – Jerico Silvers

“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. It means removing toxic people and belief systems from your life so that you can make room for relationships and ideas that are conducive to your wellbeing and happiness. 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.” – Daniell Koepke

29. “When you decide to let go, you’re not losing hope, you’re only hoping for more, hoping for better, hoping for something worth holding on to. Because in letting go, you learn that sometimes hanging on hurts more, that fighting harder makes you lose and that waiting only wastes your time.
In letting go, you learn that some people only come into your life to teach you how to move on, to teach you exactly who you shouldn’t hold on to.
In letting go, you learn that the things that you’re afraid of doing are exactly the things you need to do so you can grow and set yourself free.
In letting go, you learn that you may lose some people but you will always find yourself.”
