Let it go...

Another interesting forwarded message. Not much clue about its origin.

My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth.
When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was?
Probably a hundred times a day.
Just because it was not hurting you doesn’t mean you did not notice it.
It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly.
It’s going to take a while, but it takes time.
Should you have kept the tooth?
No, because it was causing you so much pain.

Therefore, move on and let go.
