We all know the feeling of being stuck and strangely don't want to let go. Although it might hurt, your (self) pity keeps you in that moment. This is also what keeps us human; it's because of pity that we know what we or someone else wants. So having pity is actually having power, real inner strength, because it is hope. So believe, especially if you want to see things differently. It is okay to stay and linger, just don't forget your pity, your hope, your true inner strength and make yourself ready to let it go.
