Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

  1. When you hold on to things you aren't ready to move on but when you let go you are proving that you are a strong person and you don't need to live in the past but in the future. Letting go of things makes you a stronger person because you are allowing yourself to move forward in life. You don't have to forget what you let go of but you need to live passed it learning from it.

  2. This is so true but I also think that holding on makes you weak because it takes a lot of strength out of you then you just give up and let it go.

  3. Sometime we hold onto things because it hurts to much to let them go. We want to pretend like they're still there. By holding on we keep them close. Moving on and letting go is the hard part. Dealing with it is the hard part, not just pretending it didn't happen.

  4. When you hold on to things that you dont want to let go then when you let go it will be hard. Moving on in life is hard because we have to let go of things as life goes by.

  5. It takes more to hold onto something, it makes you weak. When you are strong enough to let something go, you are strong enough to move forward with life. I agree with this quote one hundred percent, because it is the strength in us that allow for us to move on.

  6. when you keep thinking about things that arnt helping you move on then thats whats holding you back. This quote is true I think because i know that ive been through things that have made it hard on me to move on. But to forget then has helped me alot.

  7. holding on to something you know deep down your never going to have eventually will just make you weak, but as soon as you realize how strong you are after letting go of that something, will let you know that you are that strong to move on to something that is worth holding on to. so let go whe you need to, it will just make you a stronger person

  8. I think this is extremely right! Holding on tears you apart, more and more everyday, but the thing with letting go is it takes a person a lot to be able to pick up & walk away.

  9. holding onto something just makes you more and more weak, and when you finally decide to get up and walk away that shows that your more strong then u ever were

  10. Holding on doesnt always help, sometimes makes things worse. By letting go it actually shows how much stronger you are.

  13. i agree with this quote holding on to something that you know is hurting you tears you down more and more... when you let go it may be hard, but you soon realize that letting go made you so much stronger than what you were before and if you wouldn't have let go then you would still be in pain.

  14. this quote is saying that you may think holding on is making you stronger but its not because it is eating you up on the inside so the best thing to do sometimes is to just let go.

  15. Holding on makes us weak. It takes more strength to walk away from someone you love then watching them walk away.

  16. Holding on to something that isn't worth holding on to will make you weak because you are taking extra strength to keep your self going and to stay positive. So it is better to let go, When you know that person aint worth your time anymore.

  17. Holding on to something is hard but leting something go is even harder. But at the end it is better, Because there is always something out there to start holding on to (starting over)! Its like when one door closes another opens.

  18. When you hold on to something it show that you need that,but when you let go it shows that you are stronger than that and it takes alot more to let go of something and you come off as a stronger person in the end.

  19. When you hold on to things, its not just the good times that you remember its the bad times to. It is better to move on and let things go.

  20. This means that sometimes the best thing you can do in life is to let go of something, no matter how bad it hurts. Some things just aren't meant to be in your life, or provide more bad than good.

  21. When you've cared for something so long, it's very hard to let go. But some things hold you back, and keep you from going further in life. It's hard to let go, but sometimes it's what has to happen.

  22. I actually feel this way right now. I feel like if I keep holding on then I am doing the right thing and I'm being strong for what I want, but really I would be much stronger if I just let go. Sometimes letting go is the right thing to do

  23. moving on in life is hard to do and you feel weak and helpless, but when you let go, it makes you stronger and shows that no matter what life throws at you, you can bounce back from it.

  25. i think it means that if you keep holding on to things it only makes you hurt even more. sometimes people will think that you have a strong heart because you keep holding on to something that upsets and hurts you. in the end the only thing that really shows how strong you are is by letting go and moving on.

  26. Let go of the bad things in life, it may hurt you at first, but in the end make you a better person. Don't hold on to the bad things, but the good ones! You'll be a stronger person in the end!

  27. When we hold onto things, we hold on only because were scared of getting hurt or hurting that person. & letting go just proves that your a stronger person and brave to let go.
