Moving on doesn’t mean you are running away from any situation. It simply means you have given your 100%and didn’t get any result. In that situation moving on, is important.
If you don’t let go you can’t move on. Still invested emotionally and unable to let go means you still need that person in some way. Allowing feelings to process over time – grieving – and concentrating on self, friends, and activities means eventually all those unwanted feelings change. A person feels freed to let go.
Here are some quotes about moving on and letting go.
