I always used to be that type of person that would cling to others, things, feelings, and circumstances too much. I'd grasp at them until they really could not move unreservedly around my mind and my life. I was convinced that if I held them very firmly that it might keep them close to me. What I found nonetheless 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 best sign of strength - that to prove how much you need something you truly must keep hold of it with everything that you have. But in all that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capability to change. I didn't give other stuff the chance to modify so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function unreservedly. I came up against one certain trait of life that proved my assumed strength weak time after time - life will always change.
So I started to let go. I began to permit those beautiful 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'm centered.
I am finally open.
I'm happy.
It really is... time to move on with a full heart.
I truly feel, that allowing things to unfold is the toughest thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but essentially walking off from things and never looking back is among the strongest things you can do. You never really 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.
