<u>Letting go.</u>
<u>放下</u>

Truly, truly understanding that something is not meant for me. And I will not obtain it. And I need to improvise now, I need to figure out something else. I need to change my plans. Deep breath. Another one. Another one. Okay, I am going to change my plan now = <u>This attitude.</u>
