I've come to realize the many different facets of meaning when it comes to 'letting go'.

It could be the total diminishing of all feelings toward the person. But is that really possible?

It could be the granting of forgiveness. I feel only those with the biggest of hearts are able to do this.

It could be erasing the person from your life in all its entirety, being that there would be no feelings for it if it were not there at all. This, to me, is contemptuously immature, though.

It could also be the acceptance of the person in all its character and ways, be it amiably or in contempt. Seems the best way?

Is it really possible that acceptance can be achieved without any forgiveness? How can someone accept something when every time he sees it or thinks of it, his heart is torn over and over again, and his eyes are searing with hate?

Is it really possible to come to understand and accept a person's character as something so overwhelmingly loathsome and still allow it to exist in your life?

Everyone has his own set of choices to choose from, neither of which we have any power to influence with any confirmed effect. Choices are made and pathways are set; they are not for us to walk on.

But like any physical pathway on the face of this Earth, it can remain a scar on the map of your life.

A scar I can do without.
