Live, and Let Go

Have you ever had the reminiscence of something in your former days?

Just thinking of every attainable way you could have altered it, made it last longer or finally made it work?

You spend your days, hours, minutes and each second thinking about it, you wake up thinking about it, you can't sleep or you don't have enough sleep because your thinking about it.

You go through your daily life thinking about what could have been, you go to bed hoping and praying that it will come back or it will change.

Nothing lasts forever, you go through your life thinking about it, thinking about yesterday but not today. Your in denial with yourself, having heartaches and headaches regretting.

We're all young, all young at heart, yes we are reckless and yes we are too daring but we are alive!

We all make mistakes in life, its a part of living and its a part of growing and you never stop growing, we meet people we love people but we also lose those people but that's the way life works.

Letting go doesn't mean you are weak or you are giving up

No

Letting go is a part of life, letting go is facing your fears to open new doors

And letting go, means growing up

Be strong enough to let go and just be patient enough to wait for what you truly deserve.

Author's Note

Close your eyes
Clear your heart
and let go

This is so true ! I believe that only the strong people can let go and move on because it's not easy . like they say " life begins at the end of your comfort zone " it has quite the same meaning , when we let go the things we love and which we hold on so much than we are making a step forward , we're moving on , we're growing up , we're learning ... I wrote something about letting go , it's similar of yours , if you want check it out , it's called " let it all go " . Great Job !

" life begins at the end of your comfort zone "
Well said and your right, and anyone can be strong, but only if they believe in their selves, once they do, they will be no longer be afraid to take the first step into doing it.
If we cling to something for so long, it will lose its true meaning, so its better to let go sometimes.

Ill be glad to check it out, and thank you for your review and your comment! ^^

You really wrote this so well, nice work.

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you Rassoul, I'm glad you think so :)

I think about stuff like that all the time. I want to kick myself with certain decisions made. But you're correct in saying by holding on it just tends to make ones future more difficult and maybe less fulfilling since you're always stuck in the past. Thought provoking stuff Joey. Digging it for sure man.

[Joey Nizz]

I always tell people not to overthink or think about the past to too much, if it hurts, turn a page and let go to heal, if it bothers you find new things to do that might excite you, we shouldn't dwell in the past, we should live in the present and be greatful because we are still here standing in it, positive thinking will always make sure that we'll have a better future with no worries.

Thank you for your review :)

Sound advice my friend. You're welcome.

It's been a while since I've gotten on this website to write let alone review but I knew as soon as I came back I had to read your work again. I'm impressed as always at how inspirational you are. I agree we tend to hold grudges and dread on the past. It's much better to move on and let go. Love it keep up the greatness!!

[Joey Nizz]

I'm glad that you have stopped by to read :)
I believe in insparation as a powerful tool to pick someone up or to give them strength to go or to move on, no one likes to be alone and helpless and some they dont know what to do or have anyone to help them, so i thought of spreading my words to the ones that truly need it and the ones that agree :)
And yea I agree, we do hold on to grudges and think about them and let them affect us in our daily lives, we should just let go and live for the moment.

Thanks again for your review Janette :)

Love the way you portray the feeling of nostalgia in your words. A panging longing is so deep and difficult to express, I almost believe one couldn't empathize with it unless they experience it.

It reminds me of the Russian word, Toska. Well done.

"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”

[Joey Nizz]

Exactly, unless they have experienced it and sometimes learn from it, depending.
This one word (Toska) has more meaning to it in English that English words, with you I agree.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your review. :)

[Farhan Shaikh]

Inspirational work lines are really motivational..another wonderful poem and it's well penned..

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you Farhan, thank your for your words and for your review :)

[KT-B]

I really resonate with this clever poem - there are things I wish I could have done so differently when young and foolish - as you say there is no going back and changing things it is essential to let go for the sake of a more promising future - great job, loved this one :)

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you for your review. :)
Some things can still change and some can't but we shouldn't feel sorry or keep regretting and get stuck with with the could haves and would haves, we she just let it go and focus at the task at hand, living life and not repeating the same scenario again.

[KT-B]

Exactly, as long as we learn and grow from our mistakes - that's what life is all about I guess, I love poems that give food for thought and yours certainly do :)

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you, Im glad that you see it that way :)

[KT-B]

I definitely do, we all on the path of being better people, I think. I am anyway sometimes I go far, sometimes I go backwards and have to start again - :)

[Joey Nizz]

Its not bad or wrong to start again, maybe you'll embark on a better journey than the one you are in now.
And yes some or most but not everyone goes on that path, but going on a path to find your self to make your self better might be a path worth taking you know.
I go on new paths every now and then and sometimes I too go as far.

Inspiring life lines,

"Letting go is a part of life, letting go is facing your fears to open new doors
And letting go, means growing up
Be strong enough to let go and just be patient enough to wait for what you truly deserve."

[Joey Nizz]

Thank you for your review and yes I agree with what you said. :)

[JessyJacob]

I feel what you said is more in tact with mine, so deleted above lines, not to misstrack and missunderstood by any.

[Najam Us Saher]

Felt like you have written this for me....This is exactly what I am going through...

[Joey Nizz]

I hope it helped you in anyways.
