One topic that&rsquo;s currently catching the attention of many is yet another relationship theory. It seems like you couldn&rsquo;t get enough of last time&rsquo;s &ldquo;Taxi Cab Theory&rdquo; from the movie Sex and the City. While the Taxi Cab Theory is all about chasing someone, this trending theory is quite the opposite.
The &ldquo;Let Them Theory&rdquo; explores the difficult art of letting go of the little things. It talks about how getting rid of your inherent desire to control the behavior of other people often leads to finding your &lsquo;inner peace&rsquo;. When you stop nitpicking every imperfect aspect of your life and just &ldquo;let things be&rdquo;, you avoid the negative feelings that might come along with it. This could feel exhausting for others, especially when it feels like they&rsquo;ve been spiraling out of control. Letting go is a tough decision, and with that, you can somehow say you&rsquo;ve become unbothered.&nbsp;
However, there&rsquo;s still that itch in your brain you can never get rid of. It&rsquo;s a lingering question that pops into your head every time you let the big things be. If you just let them, will you be truly happy?
There&rsquo;s a thin line that needs to be defined every time you speak of peace and happiness. You can achieve one and still not feel the other. People can be happy in between unsettling moments. On the other hand, people can be at peace, but it would always feel dull and incomplete.
This is why the Let Them Theory can&rsquo;t stand alone. You can never just &ldquo;let them&rdquo;. Maybe the minor things, sure. But if you do this for the major things too, you&rsquo;d be a hollow shell of what you once were before you started to let it all go.&nbsp;
In conclusion, the Let Them Theory, just like the others, should be taken with a grain of salt. The first step to being at peace and happy at the same time is recognizing that happiness comes from a conscious choice to claim it.&nbsp;
It takes effort to set boundaries and create an environment where you feel safe enough to say, &ldquo;Me being unbothered is not an excuse to settle. I want to be happy, too.&rdquo;
