I mostly used to be that sort of person that would hold on to others, things, emotions, and circumstances too much. I would grasp at them till they couldn't move readily around my mind and my life. I was under the impression that if I held them firmly that it would absolutely keep them close to me. What I found on the contrary is that gripping onto things too tightly only chokes the air out of them or makes them sift through your hands like sand.
I thought that holding on was the most sincere sign of strength - that to prove how much you want something that you must hold onto it with everything that you have. But in that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capacity to change. I really didn't give other things in my life the chance to change so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function freely. I came up against one certain feature of life that proved my assumed strength weak time and again - life will always change.
So I really began to let go. I started to permit those lovely and intricate portraits of memories in my mind unfold like streamers in the wind. I let them flow naturally like the waters in the streams.
When the time was right, I rolled them back up, smiled, and began to stare at the open sea of uncerainty in front of me.
I'm ready.
I am finally open.
I am and truly happy.
It's time to move on with a full heart.
Often that is the hardest thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but essentially leaving things and never casting looks backwards is one of the strongest things you can do. You never quite know if something will come back around again, but if it does, it was intended to be. If it doesnt in the end, it is still possible to enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
