I normally used to be that kind of person that would hang on to people, things, emotions, and circumstances too much. I would grasp at them until they really could not move readily around my mind and my life. I was under the impression that if I held them tightly that it would absolutely 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 greatest sign of strength - that to prove how much you would like something you truly must hold onto it with everything you have got. But in all of that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capacity to change. I didn't give other things in my life the chance to change much so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function freely. I came up against one certain trait of life that proved my assumed strength weak time and again - life will always change.
So I 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, grinned, and started to stare at the open sea of uncerainty in front of me.
I'm centered.
I am open.
I am happy.
It really is... time to move on with a full heart.
Often that allowing things to unfold is the toughest thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but actually walking away from things and never looking back is among the strongest things which can be done. You never truly know if something will come back around again, but if it does, it was supposed to be. If it doesn't, you can still enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
