In this series of honest and poignant essays, Heidi Priebe explores the harsh reality of what it means to let go of the people and situations we love most - often before we are ready to - and how to embrace what comes next.

We often struggle to let some people go, especially when they made that decision. We question the universe, we question ourselves, and we question everyone around us but we never truly get our answers. Letting someone go takes time, patience, and commitment to actively stop ourselves from relapsing and thinking about that person again. The Art of Letting Go helps you understand why, how, and when you should let someone go so you can move on and never look back.

Story
A year and a half into our marriage, I found out my husband had been having an affair with a 19-year-old for six months. I filed for divorce and left. Two weeks later I met a man, and we fell madly in love. It was a fairy-tale romance for a month and a half, and he convinced me to join him on a romantic month-long vacation in Italy. Forty-eight hours before we were supposed to get on a plane, he told me he needed to go by himself. I was devastated. So, I had a decision to make. Either stay home and be heartbroken, or go travel Europe for a month by myself. And staying at home heartbroken? F%*k. That.

Disappointing
Liked the general wisdom.
Disliked repetition, same phraseology, as well as concepts, over and over ad nauseam. Wisdom now a days seems dished out like ice cream, so much so that it can be dismissive as well as misleading of the time and work of true growth. Were wisdom concepts as easy as writing about them, we would meet a lot of wise, mentally healthy, robust and flourishing people every day.
Working with people who have experienced crises, I know it can take decades to grow enough to be motivated more by love than fear, or to flourish post traumatically.
Too superficial a treatment of the human condition for me.
