accept it
Let it go
Accept it is a directive to stop resisting or denying something unpleasant and acknowledge reality.
Often delivered as blunt advice or even dismissal: Your team lost—accept it.
The phrase implies the listener is in denial or dwelling unproductively: She's not coming back. You need to accept it and move on.
