Friends, today I will try to highlight some things among you, I hope that each word will touch your heart and you will like it.

Every time I hear the word “Letting Go”, a deep emotion arises in my mind. Because there is a kind of silent pain hidden in this word, a kind of understanding, which everyone has to learn after a while in life. To me, “Letting Go” means not just letting go of something, but freeing yourself from things that are no longer the reason for our happiness, peacefully moving away from them.

Many of you know that I have been in exile for many years. In this long distance, I have lost many things in my life, my family, friends, the city of my childhood, and those familiar faces with whom I used to laugh and play every day, passing by every time. Life abroad is on the one hand a path to fulfilling dreams, and on the other hand, it is a story of great sacrifice. Many times I can't sleep at night, I just think about how much I have "let go" to get here, which has no limits.

What I Understand by "Letting Go"

To me, "Letting Go" is a silent compromise with reality, which every person has to do at some point. When I understand that something is not under my control, then being able to let go of it without holding on to it, calmly, that is "Letting Go" to me. It was never easy for me, but time teaches that holding on only increases the pain, so I had to let go.

My Experience of Letting Go

You know, I still reflect onconsideration on that day. I imply, the absolute first actual time I was prepping to go away the Malaysia. The faces of my folks at the airport—they were just drenched in sadness. Mom? She was weeping quietly, a really deep cry, and honestly, I couldn't even look her way. It felt like some tiny piece of my soul just got stuck right there, wouldn't budge.

​Getting my life started abroad, those first few months? Man, they were brutal. Pure loneliness all around me, trying to figure out a new language, the constant pressure from work, and just nights and nights heavy with real, palpable heartache. But, as you do, slowly, I started figuring out that look, you just have to let certain things go—whether you want to or not. That’s the ticket. And, weirdly enough, those very sacrifices, those things you leave behind, are what actually push you forward."

How I Knew It Was Time to Let Go

I knew that if I held on to my own family, I may not be able to stroll the course of my goals. I knew that every distance would one day open the door to new possibilities for me. So I let go despite a lot of pain, but I didn't lose love. Even today, my family is in my heart, only the distance has increased a little. So Letting Go for me means learning to let go, but not forgetting.

I still talk to everyone on video calls every day, at every festival, I get that love and affection in my mother's voice, I try to be by their side even when I'm not by their side. Those feelings have kept me alive for so many years, and those moments always motivate me to work.

Today I understand very well that “Letting Go” is actually a kind of courage in our lives, a decision that we have to make ourselves. It is that decision in life, where we choose to move forward despite the pain. I may have let go of a lot, but in return I have gained new experiences, new people, and a new form of my own strength, which I might never have had if I had not let go.

That's why existence teaches us that on occasion it's better to permit go than to keep on to something. Because true peace comes simplest when we can be given, while we understand that now not everything in this international can be held all the time. And this attractiveness is the most stunning form of Letting Go.

I hope you liked my little speech today. If you like it, you will definitely share your opinion, thank you.
