I mostly used to be that type of person that would hold on to others, things, feelings, and circumstances too much. I'd grasp at them till they could not move readily around my mind and my life. I was convinced that if I held them firmly that it might keep them close to me. What I found on the contrary is that gripping onto things too firmly only chokes the air out of them or makes them sift through your hands like sand.
I thought that holding on was the best sign of strength - that to prove how much you want something you truly must keep hold of it with everything that you have. But in that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capability to change. I really didn't give other things the chance to change much so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function readily. I came up against one certain trait of life that proved my judged strength false time after time - life will always change.
So I began to let go. I truly started to let those lovely and complicated 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 widely, and took some time to stare at the open ocean of uncerainty in front of me.
I am finally ready.
I am finally open.
I am finally content.
It's time to move on with a full heart.
Sometimes that is the one very hard thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but essentially walking away from things and never looking backwards is one of the strongest things which can be done. You never quite know if something will come back around again, but if it does, it was intended to be. If it does not, it's still possible to enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
