Letting go

Question: Why is letting go so hard?

Answer: unknown.

When you get a good thing in life, it's hard to let go of. Understandably. But what if not letting go is actually hindering you? What if there might be something better out there, and you're just too scared to find out? There is a good chance that is me. I wonder, I question but I'm definitely afraid to let go. Loving someone is so complicated. I respect him and I care about him, I want him to succeed and I want to help him get where he wants to go in life and go there with him. But he doesn't seem to want the same thing anymore. When I try to help it's like I'm just annoying him and it makes me wonder. When I want his opinion on my life, he won't give it because it's supposedly my decision, like he's not important. But he is important to me, his opinion does matter to me. It took me time, but I figured out where I wanted to go with my life and I want the same thing for him and more than anything I want to be a part of that. But it seems more and more like that may not happen. I have to tell him he needs to do something, but how do you tell someone that and accept letting him go as the only other option?

Revised Answer: Letting go is hard because there are too many ifs in life. You never know where your decisions will lead, which makes making a decision particularly difficult.
