Nobody likes letting go. From our earliest moments, our instinct is to grab, grip, cling, or hold on to anything we can. To a finger. To a blanket. To a toy. To a best friend. To a love that has obviously already let you go by their actions. Or their inactions. Sometimes we hold on for dear life to the very things that inhibit us from actually living life.
But there is an upside. The feeling we get when we do finally let go. The trick is not to find a way around the obstacles and challenges thrown at us by life, but to live with them. Live through them. Learn from them. In a halfway happy, uneasy alliance until the universe throws something new our way. And around and around we go until the time comes finally to say goodbye. And like it or not, ready or not, we all have to accept one universal truth - life is messy. M Always and for all of us.
But... maybe messy is what one needs.
