That's exactly what makes pain so hard to let go. Because it's connected to all the horrible things in our past. Sometimes, it feels like we're no longer giving validation to those bad things if we start to let go but that's not true. All that means is that we reach a point of being able to become stronger. Because it takes strength to be able to say you're willing to let things go, to let go of the pain you've held onto for so long.
