Let go

I will be the first to tell you that I do not let things go, so the pretty photo that I have here is a little misleading. However I am learning that letting go is not passive and poetic.
So what have I learned and what can I let go? Or maybe its the feeling of being let go?
Idk what I am trying to convey, but something that I can convey are my personal thoughts and feelings about letting things go.

I have been known to keep a grudge (anyone see that movie btw it was the scariest thing I have seen when I was younger). Letting it go is not easy, idk why, maybe because it has something to do with learning to navigate the socially constructed rules that at times don’t align with our own emotional framework (emotions? framework? We’ll break that discourse down in another post). Yet, I still remember when someone has done me wrong, more importantly, how I let myself do something wrong and let myself down. And that, is what I am having the most trouble with, perhaps I am making the distinction here. Letting go of what harm was done to us is not easy but I am learning that a reason I can’t let go completely is because I am learning how to better tend to myself, maybe protect myself from this harm again. I ask myself, why can’t I let this go, why does it bother me, warn me, and at times trick me, into mind reading, and predicting something, that might or might not be true? (you know when you start assuming what people are thinking about ourselves, not fun) This post sounds a little cryptic, however I am connecting to traumas, mistakes, and attachment injuries (amicable and partner related).
I intend to let it teach me and I intend to go on.
