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 couldn't move readily around my mind and my life. I thought that if I held them 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 greatest sign of strength - that to prove quite how much you would like something you must hold onto it with everything that you've got. But in all of that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capability to change. I really didn't give other things in my life the chance to change so I instead ground them into submission without letting them function freely. I came up against one certain characteristic of life that proved my judged strength feeble time after time - life will always change.
So I started to let go. I started to allow 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 started to stare at the open sea of uncerainty in front of me.
I'm centered.
I am open.
I'm happy.
It's time to move on with a full heart.
I truly feel, that allowing things to unfold is the one very hard 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 amongst the strongest things which can be done. You never really know if something will come back around again, but if it does, it was meant to be. If it doesn't, you can still enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
