When you stop holding on to something, you let go. It’s easy to let go of things with your hands. You just open your hand and let whatever you were holding fall.
But letting go of emotional memories or experiences is harder. You can’t force your mind or heart to change quickly. It takes time to let go of bad things that happen to you and go back to living life the way you did before.
Years ago, Amanda broke Mason’s heart. Now they are back together. In this English lesson video, Mason finds a very special way to show Amanda the true meaning of the English phrasal verb “let go.”

Mason: OK, so after our perfect, romantic dinner, I’m going to tell Amanda that I left my phone back at the office and I’ll take her back here, make sure to open the door real slow so you guys can hide, and when you hear me say, “Amanda, I have something to ask you,” that’s when you do it.
Dale: You got it, buddy.
Mason: Alright. Wish me luck!
Marni: Good luck!
Mason: Yeah, sorry, but thanks for coming back with me. It’s just, I hate to leave my phone here overnight. Sometimes people have important stuff to say.
Amanda: It’s no big deal. It’s no problem, Mason. So, uh, where’s your phone?
Mason: It’s in my pocket.
Amanda: What? Then what are we doing here?
Mason: It’s just that I have something to ask you.
Devan: Now! Let go!
Mason: Will you marry me?
Amanda: Mason, oh my God. Yes. I will. Oh, it’s so gorgeous.
Jason: Yay!
Amanda: Oh my God. I am so excited, Mason. There is nobody else out there like you. I have searched high and low. I am so honored, Mason.
Jason: Woo hoo, she said yes!
Marni: Congratulations!
Jeff: I’m so happy for you, bud.
Amanda: You guys, I have the best friends in the whole world. I mean, one day I think my job is letting me go, the next day I’m part owner of the company and I’m engaged? Mason, I just have to know one thing. How did you get over your fear of having your heart broken again?
Mason: Well, you know, Amanda, I just let it go. I realized there was no point in holding on to all that fear and pain anymore. So that’s why I had our friends let go of these balloons, to show you that I’ve let go, and I’m ready to be happy finally, with you.
Devan: Yay!
Amanda: Mason…

Just then, everyone lets go of balloons. One of the balloons has a ring tied to the string. Mason asks Amanda to marry him.
She just has one question. How did he let go of his fear of having his heart broken again? Mason explains he decided to trust her and that he now believes they can be happy together.
Can you think of a time when you had to let go of the past? Have you ever helped a friend propose?
