I mostly used to be that type of person that would hang on to friends, things, thoughts, and circumstances too much. I'd grasp at them till they really could not move freely 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 firmly only chokes the air out of them or makes them sift through your hands like sand.
I believed that holding on was the greatest sign of strength - that to prove how much you want something that you must hang onto it with everything that you've got. But in all that , I lost parts of myself. I lost my capacity to change. I did not give other things 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 assumed strength weak time after time - life will always change.
So I started to let go. I truly started to allow those pretty 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, grinned, and started to stare at the open ocean of uncerainty in front of me.
I am prepared.
I am open.
I am finally happy.
It really is... time to move on with a full heart.
Often 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 basically leaving things and never looking backwards is among 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 doesnt in the end, it is still possible to enjoy the present anways. Live here and now.
So let go...that's true strength.
