. I know this because I let go of a relationship and took my life back and I know that Letting Go can create the

best

change for each and every one of you. Let me tell you a story when I was 41 years old. The death of a relationship showed me how to really let go of what wasn't working until that moment I didn't really think about the future I lived my life like a dog moment by moment I chased balls like whatever I could find on the ground and life was good.

He had a great job. Great friends. A great apartment. A real big dog. It was a very good idea of ​​marriage and after 12 years we didn't even live together, he still gave me hope, well sometimes it's more like living in a situation that had no hope, it just felt normal, now don't get me wrong, I stayed because Hector was a good... He seemed like a smart, trustworthy, sensitive guy who cared, and although our relationship wasn't perfect, it worked in theory until a wake-up call from a friend changed everything, so my agent friend real estate agent called me to tell me about a condo that was for sale in my Chicago neighborhood.

She knew I was looking to get Hector to commit and thought, well, maybe this could inspire some forward movement, but my first inclination was to say we're not ready yet, not yet, that was Hector's favorite catchphrase. I would say I want to get married. He said not yet, I said let's live together not yet, it was a hair that I couldn't get out of my eye and a bad song that I couldn't get out of my head, so you can imagine my surprise when he said that he would definitely meet me at the condominium next door. noon, now I arrived early with great enthusiasm, but Héctor, well, that was another story. 12 15 arrived 12 30. 12 45 1 o'clock no, Hector finally called, something came up, so we agreed to meet again. at three but Hector didn't show up again it was at that moment that I decided after 12 years that it was time to let him go, I had to let go of Hector and the idea of ​​marrying him or someone because at 41 my options were terrifying , I could stay with a man who couldn't commit but was great at all the parties and birthdays, or I could break up with him and be alone, not that

letting

go of a good man who I really loved was easy, no, no, I had to do it. survive the consequences, thank you for my Epiphany and that's when the grief stage hit you and Hector won't be together forever, you won't be his person, in fact he'll probably meet someone else quickly, marry her and she'll be his. person and then you will have to live with the fact that you made a mistake.

I cried ugly, ate a lot of pizza, listened to a lot of Joni Mitchell and then when I couldn't rub my eyes anymore without hitting a bone or imagining it. Hector in a wedding photo with another foreign woman, probably wearing a size 6 dress. I shook. I let go of the fear of growing old and dying alone. That my friends would use me as a warning. I tell you it was too late for me. no, no, at that moment I finally had to admit what I really wanted more. You see, Hector didn't show up, that was a gift because he gave me my freedom, because let's face it.

I've been chasing that ball for 12 years. No, it was not. It's time to move forward even if I risk being rejected, so I made a plan that became clearer with each step, of course, thank you. I tried to make an excuse for him not to show up, but by then it didn't matter. I told him it was all over. I quit. my job I hugged my friends I sold my beautiful condo in the same neighborhood that gave me that life-changing epiphany
