  • one little dissagreement and my cousin blocked me on facebook. miss her but let it go madea makes me strong

  • Hallelujer to this

  • i agree with madea, people are like trees, the leaves and branches aren't ones u can trust or be an open book with, but the roots are real friends. And no matter what peole think of those roots (even if they think they're a loser or an underdog) u should stick with them becuz the people that talk badly about them wouldn't treat u half as well as they would treat u...STICK WITH THE ROOTS to heck with what others think...

  • If only it were that easy. It's good advice, but unfortunately the pain will never fully leave me until he lets me have some closure. D=

  • My bf wanted to go (so he could get back with his ex who pops up and says she was sorry) so I let him go a few days ago. Its hard but I am getting through. I am back to working on me its hard but I refuse to do disfunctin. I play this over and over when I get real down about it i wanted it to work. Its 2012 LET GO AND MOVE ON!!!

  • @jlove2life me too same situation i watch this over and over its true at the end he says yu dont need that drama in ur life! love urself too beautiful to be stressing

  • 2 people are bitter. LET IT GO HONEY!

  • I have 3 roots in my life. They keep me grounded and sane.

  • This is the absolute truth! Let FOLKS GO!!

  • A friend of mine and I had planned a weekend get away, and something came up and I couldn't make it any more. I had to cancel....she hasn't talked to me in a month because of that. She wont even take my calls. I guess she was a leaf...Letting her go.

  • WHO WOULDN'T LIKE THIS?

  • i need to show this to my best friend she already heard the tree thing though

  • My arsehole bf left me, I couldn't fucking believe it, HE left ME. Unreal, took madeas advice, 1 month later he was begging me to come back, and i told him to go and fuck a donkey. Been at the gym flat out, working on myself Madea = the TRUTH

  • Sometimes you have to give up on people. Everyone that is in your journey is meant to be in your journey, but not everyone is meant to stay there

  • lol @ what the hell was I thinking?

    Love it!

  • women, no man is worth crying over, and

    men, no woman is worth crying over, point is, learn to let it go!

  • the story of my life this is deep

  • like any other comedian who has their own message, any musician who sings a message, Tyler Perry through Madea is conveying a true message about life.

  • its not that easy when its one of your children to just walk away how

  • its not that easy when its one of your children

  • I've said this and told my kids and love one's thing for many of years..lol

  • Love, love this!!! Sad but true....going thru, but it's getting better for me everyday!!

  • That tree analogy always makes me get teary eyes and chills...it's so true that it hurts.

  • Tyler Perry is a good actor.. Sometimes I be so into Madea, I be forgetting that she's actually a young man in a dress LOL

  • Preach Madea!!! Preach!!! So true! Soooo true.. so many needs to hear this! thank you

  • I wished I would of heard this advise when My marraige was first breaking up cuz it has helped me alot it was just two years to late I am good now but I would of saved my life my career and alot of happyness if I would of heard this 2 years ago. thanks for posting this

  • Thank you! The part about being by yourself, that's SO true.

    I'm 25 and have never had a single official boyfriend. People come around asking me "Do you have a boyfriend?" and the question just annoys me. I'm not some bitter hag who says that love doesn't exist, love is for suckers, or all men are jerks etc. But I do realize that if something is for me, it'll come in due time. In the meantime, I've no business going to clubs or parties looking for something I didn't lose.

  • @OuttaEgypt I agree! If there's one thing I learned from my own life is not to depend on people for vital needs like love and affection. I turn to God for that! Humans have proven themselves limited and flawed. Now, I forgive them for being imperfect but I know for sure "You are not obligated nor expected to show me goodness!" When I am able to love myself just fine, needing others for that no longer happens!!!

  • this is so tru i kno who my people are ive been preached this before 

  • THIS ADVICE SAVED MY LIFE <3 THANK YOU MADEA

  • Can I just say that I watched this video a dozen times before I broke up with my boyfriend. It gave me the confidence to realize he wasn't the one, and helped me to make it the most tolerable low drama break up either of us had ever had. We were able to just... let each other go!

  • @7h3Ch3m157 Yeah for low drama! Listen to Mary J Blige's "No More Drama" and "Just Fine". It'll encourage you even more not to have ANY drama and that you'll be okay. I love those songs (and Madea's advice too!)

  • I'm trying to be happy by myself. Not working, I have been a root, I will continue to be a root. I've known it for long, I know myself. Lord, keep letting me shake the leaves. I have a couple of branches left but I know thwy are just that, branches.

  • omgeee love ittt

  • Life is truly a teasey journey all we can do is stay prayerful, trust and believe that god is #1 and everything else will fall into it's correct order just have faith.

  • The 2 people that disliked this video need to be let go.

  • how could someone say that they love u and hurt u by cheating when u know u done what u was suppost to do as a women.but he say he want do it again and he can't live with out you how r u suppost to belive him r do u let him go

  • @latosha609 #1, are you two married? If so, your vows may have included for better or for worse...that situation is one of the worst but you can get passed it with counseling, forgiving and work on his part to show you that he is trustworthy again (this IS NOT a microwave process).

    #2, if not married let him go, be by yourself and love him from a distance. (This too may not be a microwave process).

  • The ONLY TWO ppl who disliked this are leaves!!

  • I remember the night I attended this play and I heard this advice. My God, thank you Jesus it was a blessing. I couldn't hold it in. I felt like I wanted to run and tell somebody. It was the food I needed at that moment. Say what you want about Tyler Perry but this message planted a seed that has flourished over the years.

  • my friend just sent me this link... thank god she did! my boyfriend of 2 years has been constantly breaking my heart, dumping me over and over again..ive don all that i can to please him but it was never enough.. when he broke my heart and treated e bad i always ran back to him... she is right when she says love yourself! IF WE DONT LOVE AND RESPECT OURSELVES HOW CAN WE EXPECT OTHERS TO? Im only 17 and i gave up my friends, the respect of my family and even my faith for nothing... thank u madea

  • i love this i have learn a lot as well Luxurious A Grandma like Madea is a good Blessing for everyone - Tyler you are the best writer brother Best wishes....

  • This is the best advice Ive ever heard in my life.. These words changed my thoughts on friends, life, family and happiness.

  • AMEN!!!! THIS IS SO TRUE!!! I GOTTA LET THEM GO...LORD KNOWS I NEED TO HEAR THIS....

  • amen.

  • I love this character and this advice ... jut brilliant!

  • wow... that's some of the best advice i've ever heard.

  • me to

  • Why can't I post this on facebook ? Embedding by request ? Is there any way around this ? it's so perfect for some of my friends.

  • @cwright865 drop me an email i can tell you how to acheive it i have it on my cell phone i keep madea/tyler perry close to me this is an awesome peice of his never ending talent in charector} his inspirtions are like mine MYA ANGELO is some kind of wonderful GOOGLE HER if you like madea/shes a beautiful poet & salt of the earth~DD

  • Wise words from Madea, but it's easier said than done.

  • @milliemarin AMEN IT'S EASIER SAID THEN DONE

  • YES BABY...LET THEM GO, AND ENJOY LIFE!!

  • silly i know, but madea reminds me of my anut who passed away...always makes me smile :)

  • To my good friends you know who you are...you are my roots....

  • I LOVE IT!!!

  • Humor is always a good tool for working out your challenges. I love how Madea just says it like it is. I cracked up when she said "...if you don't know how to be by yourself, watcha you gonna do with someone else!" Yes divorce is painful. Guess what, in order for your children to be the best, you have to be the best. So get your mind, body and spirit in that "happy place" and you will be able to help your children heal through the divorce.

  • i have had family this... this is so true.......

  • The best advise I ever heard. Thank youTyler.

  • I truly..TRULY needed to hear this tonight!

  • this video helped me thru sooo much lately!

  • this helped me alot when people who i thought were my friend's left me,shunned me, and treated me like crap last year after all i did for them, i started taking madeas advice. this year i became stronger than ever and i became so care free and there are some of them trying to say hi to me. i'm like forget it! i had to let it go. after i let them go i became happier with myself and it was their loss since they wanted to come back into my life after all thwey did.

  • @yasmineply820 I'm glad that this video was helpful to you. I especially enjoyed reading this comment because you gave yourself the strength to recover from your so-called friends' abandonment. It hurts like hell to lose friends and have then turn on you. And then they come around once you moved on with your life? Oh no! I would've done just what you did: forget them (but forgive them later). Great for you!

  • very funny and so true :)

  • this makes so much sense ty madea :D

  • great relationship advice... thanks Cindy!

  • This advice is some of the best you can get - Madea puts her own comedic spin on it, but this is REAL TALK ( LOL at :39 to : 53) 

  • Very true...one of the best advices everyone needs to hear

  • I love this video myself. It is so true about people are like seasons. I am so sick of these sorry men. I am going to switch it up and start dating outside my race.

  • tell me about it!!!!!!!!! madea is so right

  • this is some great advice

  • I love this. (From the white guy over in the corner)

  • TRUTH!!!!! This is the BEST advice ever!

  • Folks much of the time the people who hurt you most are not lovers, or husbands and wives, but your boy or your girl. I know, I had frienimies long before the term came to pass. Wish I had raked some leaves and trimmed some branches earlier in life rather than put up with hurt just for the sake of having "friends"

  • PREACH

    I am seeing now i let friends abuse and use me, totally wrong!

    He is so right....if you tell someone they are hurting you and they do not care at all, they need to be let go! Thanks again

  • Speak the truth madea! Speak the truth!!

  • AMERNT!!!!!

  • It's been over a year since I posted this video up and I'm so glad that it's helped so many ppl. A friend from work actually shared this video with me and I had some trouble trying to rip it and upload it here on youtube but it was worth it. There's certain people that you need to let go and move on from, but just remember to hold onto those roots!

  • @s0rr0wful3y3s Thanks... you did a great job uploading this.

  • @s0rr0wful3y3s thank you so much for posting this...thanks so much.

  • @s0rr0wful3y3 { i love madea/tyler perry this is the best advice one can have when im down & out i always listen to it as a reminder of what to do~im glad you posted it~DD

  • When I first saw this I was going through a really hard time with someone I truly love...even tho it hurt at the time I could not help still feeling the pain and hurt. But trust me after time it gets better and you can move on. I did not believe this at the time but its true...God really is trying to show you the signs but u have to let go.

  • Madea's advice about relationships are truly remarkable and make total sense. I've saved this as a favorite and play it frequently. It has helped tremendously.

  • Tyler Perry is tranny Talented but he is still gay

  • No he isn't!!!!!! who in the hell told you that lie!!!! and if he is then that's for him and God to fix not anybody else!!

  • @Amerikaten no he isn't so, cut that bullshit out!!!!!!!! last time i checked, God anointed him with the gifts he has not you so, quit hating on a brotha just because you're not where you need to be!!!

  • this is a greeat video.. i love it

  • I hear ya Madea, I HEAR YA! The words you are saying are such pure gold! I feel like getting up and doing the Irish Jig because you have found the treasure and thank you for sharing. I am am doing the Irish Jig with you Madea! God bless you and thank you for those words of GOLD! :)

  • This was shared with me when I was really struggling with some "friends" and Madea gave me the strength to "let folks go". It hurt and it was hard, but I feel so much better now. I started to feel sad today about it, but I watched this again and it reminded me why I let go in the first place. Goodbye, leaves.

  • amen. wish you luck in life :)

  • I agree with you...my homeboi was the same way..i loved him like a brother and he claimed he did the same but i let go and let go when things really went down hill

  • I am going to use this advice. I am going through this mess with friends, not a love, but it still rings true.

  • Wise words!!!!!

  • Amen.

  • Comment removed

  • Man i really needed to here this right now. I guess it really is time to let him go. Thanks for posting!

  • @jaidyn0212 hear.

  • i like, but that true talk

    GalaxyOck.. if u let it go when u think it not for u , u cud lost something gud and never know

  • if that person wanna walk out from ur life then let them go not people who wanna stay and u push them thats the point

  • Yes, but the flip side of this is, by and by, if you train yourself to let go too much, then when it counts you won't be able to hold on to anything at all.

  • No. The flip side is balance. She's talking about, a certain kind of person who takes from people and do not give; those who only cares about themselves in excess. Deep down inside each of know when to let go. We only miss it when we are afraid and in denial.

  • yea I was in denial and I god showed me the signs for the longest but i choose to ignore but he came to a point where i couldnt ignore anymore and i had to let go even tho it hurt so bad and still do a lil but i love myself as a person and i know i got friends that do care for me now...i had to let go and let god and god brought in 3 tru friends to replace that one fake friend...i thank god for my situation

  • we all wish we had a grandma like madea

  • lolsz amen

  • @jk3024 me 2 :)

  • @jk3024 i gotta grandma like madea, crazy and funny as hell, but got some serious wisdom

  • Madea is on point right and she is the BOMB. !!! Love you Tyler Perry, for bringing us such a LOVEABLE character as MADEA and all her (yours) wisdom.

  • Learn from Madea. I rather be happy and have my peace than a man that does not love me and gives me hell. I ain't going out like that.

  • @luxurious297 AMEN I AGREE nothing like peace as madea says only 2 places you get it ur home or the grave aint no body taking it from me GOD gave it to me....

  • @DiVaDuVaLL

    That is so true =)

    

  • this was probably some of the best advice ive heard.

  • i love madea:)

  • MY roots SHe'la Keisha and ELizabeth

  • Is it okay to go catch a movie alone? some people say its pathetic but others think this means you are truly happy being alone...which is happiness within--best happiness you can find..

  • Preach, Madea, preach!!! Great advice.

  • I get such inspiration from him. whenever I'm mad at the world and no one appreciates me or see's the best in me, I can watch his plays and know my value will be seen in due time and my blessings. and even if I never know if anyone appreciates me and I have no blessings to be seen in the near future, I'll be closer to God. and me.

  • i love this video

  • Tyler Perry is just a genius. It's laughs and a good time seeing one of his plays, but he writes alot of good advice and wisdom between all the jokes and that's very rare for a comic/actor/performer to do. = D

  • This clip really relates to me. Just got out of a two year relationship and found it hard to let go but i see now she was just a leaf

  • Great advice for teens.

  • great advice for anyone that feels they need someone in there life to make them feel complete

  • God acts in mysterious ways.

    The fact that I came across this clip in such a difficult moment of my life has to mean something. Thank you Lord for having Tyler Perry share this message with us all... it is much needed and sometimes things regarding relationships ending are not clear until someone else can explain it in this way....

  • AMEN!

  • If not another true word is given by tyler perry the words in this clip are true and have been

  • datz the truth

  • I loved this and got so much out of it. I am going through a divorce and wish I had heard this a long time ago!

  • These words are indeed a true message to me. I have come across this clip at the right time, thank the Lord for that, i will keep this in mind. Just Love this Clip!!!!

  • Stop holding on to someone or something that God has been trying to take from you, believe me it will be better in the long run...........

  • WOW..i know soo many people who need to hear this right now....i needed to hear this..the smartest thing i've ever heard about relationships, especially from 3:46-4:50..is the truth!!!

  • I say you should have backed up on the time starting @ 2:50-4:50 cuz lord knows i've been tellin someone to stop doing something and he keep doin it and lord knows im tryin to be a friend to him cuz i love him like a brother and he claim he love me like a brother but he keep hurtin me and i think it's time to just let him go cuz it aint worth it

  • good 4 u

  • hell yea i agree

  • you say it sister! I need to go to you for advice! :)

  • Amen to that! I wish someone would have told me that years ago. Would have saved me a lot of hardship.

  • true dat true dat

  • PREACH IT!!!!!!! Truer words were never spoken. Amen - Thank you Jesus!!

  • This is truly for the people who are out there going beyond the call of duty for that guy or girl... i know i was and this is something i believe i needed to hear... AMEN!!!

  • WOW...I needed to hear that!

  • Amen!
