I have noticed that many people hold on to pain for far too long as though they have been dealt with things no other person has been dealt with. We have all been dealt with by life and in different capacities too. When you hear other people's stories, you would marvel and it would keep you humble enough to know others are going through things words can never fully describe.

I've always been a silent observer and I tend to stay off and look at things sometimes from afar. If you brag about having the biggest field in the world, you only need to wait and see another person's father's farm, only then can you stay humble. Life will find a way to humble us because even God resists the proud. You cannot tell me you believe in God or humanity and let your actions speak differently. You cannot tell me you love others and yet you won't let issues go.

We live in a world where all we do is talk but there is no corresponding action to back it up. It's the same with those who have wishful thinking and yet won't take the steps to achieve their dreams. Enough with the talk because talk is cheap. Let us know who you are and it's easier because your character would speak.

It's time to move on...whatever comes to your mind while reading this, it is time to move on. It's hard to move on when the pain and the hurt keep playing in your mind and it results in resentment. It's hard to move on when you keep talking about it. The more we talk about our hurt, the farther from understanding the situation we go. We need to learn to stop talking and start listening coupled with less overthinking and there is nothing we won't understand.

Forgive that hurt, it's time to move on. Forgive him for breaking your heart too, else you would have ended up with the wrong person. Forgive her for choosing another person over you, else you would have been living with someone who wouldn't give you that attention you desire. Forgive that lecturer for failing you even though he only did it to bed you, without him, you wouldn't understand what strength truly means and how to fight for what truly belongs to you.

I totally understand situations hurt us more than others. We deal with pains and hurts differently and I am not trying to make it sound so easy. It is never easy and I have my own stories too but I would rather let go than continue to hurt. It's all about perspective and learning from everything that comes to us. Some situations can be avoided and by all means, let us but for those situations we cannot avoid, we have to learn to deal with them and it takes a strong mindset to know that we shouldn't let some situations throw us off balance.

It's time to move on... Whatever comes to your mind as you read this line, it's time to move on...
