We wait for that moment, that little hope that keeps us from giving up. That little hope that keeps us from breathing in fresh air. But the waiting has worn us down. It has brought heaviness upon our shoulders. We can no longer remember why we waited in the first place. It haunts us. Because we are just to afraid that if we let go... we don't know what will come next. We can't see the other side. We fear the worst. We hang on to what isn't there anymore and we live in the past never knowing what could've been if only we'd let go.
But in letting go... it brings forth new life. Like a tree in the dead of winter. The harsh cold has made us dry. All our beautiful leaves have shivered up and died. But we hold on to what we have left. The one last leaf- the little bit of hope that we might save what we once had. This little leaf doesn't satisfy our longing. It makes us harden. it makes us bare and less beautiful.
When we finally let go... that leaf falls. It hurts us for a little while but we begin to realize we have set ourselves free. Free from the misconception that that's all we ever had to live for. But once the harsh winter passes... a little bright bud of green begins to show and brings forth new life, new hope, a new mission to live for.We can't hang on to the pass... let go. Move on, and live each day a new day to complete our mission.
We don't simply live for what we hope to have happened- we live for the present moment. How can we ever keep moving forward if we're always looking back? We'd eventually fall. Same with the future- how can we live life today if our mind is always worried bout tomorrow? Wipe those tears... all those sorrows... every last hurt... let it go- you will live better without it- I promise you.
"Letting go brings forth a new beginning... "
