I mostly used to be that kind of person that would hold on to others, things, feelings, and circumstances too much. I would grasp at them just until they really could not move freely around my mind and my life. I was convinced that if I held them firmly that it would absolutely keep them close to me. What I found however, 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 most sincere sign of strength - that to prove how much you need something you truly must keep hold of it with everything you have got. But in that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capacity to change. I did not give other stuff the chance to change so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function readily. I came up against one certain feature of life that proved my judged strength false time after time - life will always change.
So I started to let go. I truly started to let those pretty 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 began to stare at the open and vast ocean of uncerainty in front of me.
I am prepared.
I am open.
I am finally and truly happy.
It is time to move on with a full heart.
Sometimes that is the toughest thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but basically leaving things and never casting looks 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 meant to be. If it doesn't, it is still possible to enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
