Letting go when it’s time to let go
Letting go of someone will never be easy, but it’s an inescapable part of life that deserves heartfelt acknowledgment and mindful consideration. It’s instilled with so much heavy emotion related to grief and sadness… It’s not an aspect of life I had learned to handle very well.
What I’ve come to know recently is how broken my relationship with sadness has been. Without fully realizing it – it had become this emotion that I had grown too scared to fully approach. Because of certain things in my personal history – it had come to represent this bottomless abyss that drains everything from you leaving behind just a hopeless whimper in the darkness. It was a place that I lost many years to, and used all the strength I had to get out. And because I personally experienced it this way, I imagined others must be feeling it this way as well. But that was just my broken sense, and this time around I’ve allowed these emotions to fully pass through me to actually get to the other side of all the pain.
And with some time it’s gradually evolved into a bittersweet feeling… and I know now that sadness is not something to fear. On this side, I’ve found a renewed clarity about what’s actually important in my life. And a immense gratitude for everything I had when it was there. Thank you for coming into my life and for everything you shared with me. The memory will not be tainted with heavy feelings. Instead I choose to remember and hold all the positive, beautiful moments and lessons learned along the way. To have that memory empower me to grow further in lightness and in love.
Breathe in, Breathe out – I release you, and I release the energy.
Farewell my friend.
