I mostly used to be that type of person that would hang on to friends, things, thoughts, and circumstances too much. I would wildly grasp at them until they could not move freely 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 much 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 want something 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 much so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function unreservedly. I came up against one certain trait of life that proved my deemed strength false time and again - life will always change.
So I began to let go. I truly started to let those beautiful and complex 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 am centered.
I am open.
I am finally happy.
It is time to move on with a full heart.
Sometimes that allowing things to unfold is the hardest thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but essentially walking off from things and never casting looks backwards is one of the strongest things which you can do. 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's still possible to enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
