Letting Go

Forgive and forget,keep moving forward and let go of the past.
These are the most cliche' phrases that we hear everyday.
The anger will eat your "stomach" so they will say.
Forget the past and learn from your mistakes.
It's so easy to tell anyone to stop holding on and just live again as if nothing happened.
But was it really that easy.
When you've been stabbed a thousand times in you heart and the wounds are still bleeding, can you forget?
When you've been pushed in a cliff and you're still struggling for your life, can you move on?
If you're valued possession was taken from you and it was being dangled and bragged in front of you, can you let go?
If you're still drowning in your pool of tears, will it be unfair to remember every pain.
Is it too much, to still dwell some on the remaining grief if it's the only way to be connected with a loved one?
If it's the only way, is cherishing a painful memory a justifiable act?

The turtle

There was once a turtle that is somehow miserable with his life. His shell was too tight and and the pond that he live in was too noisy with frogs and he was always agitated. HE felt that he deserve everything so he just goes on with his life always annoyed and suffocated. He’s afraid to ask for more because he’s afraid that he’ll lost everything and be thrown out of the pond. Because despite of all the annoying frogs and the tight shell he’s life now was still the happiest compared to all the things that happened to him and the pond was where he felt at home.
And then one day he asks his guardian if he was where he was supposed to be. Then his guardian told him “You’ve been a good turtle and you wish nothing but my presence. But it’s ok to ask me not just to help you bear everything but to be with you also when you’re in luxury. You don’t have to be lonely to be with me. Live your life. Go get a bigger shell and transfer to a more peaceful place and just look back at what you’re life had been. Learn from your sorrows and mistakes but go on and embrace the future. It’s ok to be happy.
