If you're still holding onto feelings in the past, it's going to prevent you from moving forward with your life. You can either let go of it or address it. If you address it and the other person is not going to reconcile the issue, the best thing is just to move on and be the best person you can be. With enough time and you doing things to progress your life, you will outshine the person that doesn’t want to resolve things with you. People are not going to change and you just need to move on from the situation and just make it a learning opportunity to do better in a similar situation in the future.

When you hold onto things from your past, it will weigh you down and slow you down. It's like carrying bricks in your pack for no other reason than to make your hike more difficult. And the longer you hold on, the heavier and heavier the pack will become and eventually won't be able to move. So in order to move on and grow, you gotta let go of those things in the past and start living your life in the present. You can be a lot of happier because you're being the person you need to be.
