Letting go.

http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/how-we-let-people-go/

This very much sums up that letting go is not a loser mentality but a brave act.


Letting someone go — when it is a necessary act of self-preservation, something that has to come if you expect to move forward in life — is regarded as a kind of victory. You have successfully overcome an emotional trauma that once surrounded you like a kind of fog which prevented you from ever seeing the sun.

Of course, you never really forget anyone, but you certainly release them.
