Question #18: Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?
Of course I am. If we are all being honest with ourselves, aren't we all holding onto to something(s)?
I don't feel remotely compelled to tell you what it is I'm holding onto, but I'm sure many of you would feel I should let it go after all this time. Letting it go would probably bring me peace.
It would also mean, however, that it won't be a regular part of my life anymore. I'm not ready to let it go, because once I do, it's gone; quite frankly, letting it go is terrifying. I think there will be a day when I know it's time. When that day comes, I feel confident it will fly away into a distance memory; for now, I will continue to keep it close to me.
On the other hand, I think it's pretty ok to hold onto some things, even when it might be better if we didn't. It's ok to allow things to define us. It's ok to carry some of that around in your soul, everyday; after all, if you don't keep some of things that hurt you close to your heart, how else will you remember?
