As someone once told me, pain is inevitable, but misery is a choice - a choice we all make in each of our everyday lives. So what if I'm in pain? I can't let this control who I am. Let go.
But it's just so hard to do. "Why let go?" some would say, "I know it's painful to hold on, and it's also painful to let go, so I'll keep holding on, after all, it's me who feels the pain." To a person like you, I'd say that's pretty noble, but also equally nobly stupid. Why deepen the wound?
Walking away to some would be cowardice, but it's not. It's a brave choice we make, and when we walk away, we are telling others that we are moving on through life - no matter how painful it is. We just can't be left behind by our own issues, because what causes these issues most are not external factors but internal. It is us who decide what is painful and what is not - for instance, being called "stupid" or "idiotic". Some have called me those names, and I make a choice not to respond negatively. Let it pass out the other ear. They don't know a thing about who you are and what you're going through. Don't stop and give them the indulgence.
I'm no guru of life, but I've had my fill of life as well as taste my own flavors of inner demons, disappointments, desires, and madness... Life IS crazy, but I'm not saying that when you walk away, life would be less crazier, I'm saying that when you walk away, you give yourself a chance to fight another day, and to give yourself a rest.
Sure, it's okay to cry a little, sob a bit, pick yourself up, dust off....
And walk away.

Walk away and don't look back.
There's nothing for you behind when you're going forward...
Nothing...
