Letting Go

Was watching this korean drama & came across the following quotations on love:

"Only someone that held on to the very end can say that they let someone go".
"I went as far as i could that i am able to let go".
"Making someone you love go away is not love".

It sets me thinking!
Letting go of someone can be painful, but holding on can be even more painful. 长痛不如短痛, so letting go can be a good thing after all :) Many times it is while you hold on to someone or something & when you realise you can't hold on anymore that you could let go without regrets else you let go with a 不甘愿spirit.

Anyway my thoughts are quite messy now, so whatever that is shared may not fit into the above quotations. Drop me something for your thoughts.
