I normally used to be that type of person that would hold on to friends, things, emotions, and circumstances too much. I would wildly grasp at them just until they couldn't move readily around my mind and my life. I was convinced that if I held them tightly that it would 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 was under the impression that holding on was the best sign of strength - that to prove quite how much you want something that you must keep hold of it with everything that you've got. But in all of that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capability to change. I didn't give other things 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 feeble time after time - life will always change.
So I started to let go. I began to let those pretty and complicated 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 took some time to stare at the open sea of uncerainty in front of me.
I'm centered.
I'm open.
I am finally happy.
It's time to move on with a full heart.
Sometimes that's the toughest thing for us to do isn't it? Move on? Let relationships go? Yes, but essentially walking away from things and never casting looks backwards is amongst the strongest things which can be done. You never truly know if something will come back around again, but if it does, it was intended to be. If it does not, it is still possible to enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
