Letting Go...?

Have you ever had difficulty dealing with some emotional things? Why is it that we want to describe it as letting go? Sometimes you are just grasping for a description of what you are feeling- or what you think someone else is feeling- and all you can say is- "I just can't let it go," or, "he just can't let it go." It is a strange thing. Why is it that that seems to be the only way we can think to sometimes describe how we are wrestling with something? Comments from the peanut gallery welcome.

"Letting go" does not seem to actually describe what is going on. "Moving on" seems a little less problematic- but still...

Well, Kevin. It just so happens that just because you may find yourself as a pirate bar hooker #1, does not mean that you are an accident. The resolution is this- find the joy where you are before you seek to move somewhere else.

Peanut Gallery Girl #3 here. Is it really that we can't "let go" or "move on" or is it that we don't understand? In my experience, the ones I can process and compute tend to bother me less; it's the ones where I can't explain what went wrong that I have more trouble getting past/through. my 2 sense...

i prefer embracing and confronting, then i seem to slip into oneness.

i got tired of wrestling and became accepting, seemed like everything just fell into place after that.

I think I like "accepting". I know Rambo does.
