There are several people in my life that have a hard time letting things go. This could be the jeans that have been hanging in their closet for two decades, thinking they will either come back in style or they will once again be that weight (ok, I am guilty). It could be a friend they met in high school whom they no longer have anything in common with and they don’t even like them, or it can even be the dream they had for themselves in their youth that is no longer attainable.
It is hard to know when it is
time to move on. Whether it is an idea,
a plan, someone we met years ago or making a change. I believe it is human nature to want to hold
on even when it is time to let go.
My feeling is that not
everything is meant to be, “Until death do us part.” Yes, that could mean those leggings that you
wore 20 pounds ago. Or the hairstyle
that looked good in your 20s.
I remember reading a long
time ago about people who are ‘transition’ people. They come into your life when you need them,
yet they aren’t necessarily meant to be lifetime friends.
Life is hard enough as it
is. Taking on more burdens, holding onto
the past if it drags you down, is this really in your best interest?
