Time To Let Go...

There comes a point in everyones life where we need to let something go. Maybe a feeling such as jealousy or hatred; maybe a friendship gone sour, a bad habit or just that old Pantera T-shirt you can't let go because it belong to your 1st boyfriend. We keep things around for reminders of both good and bad memories. So how do we know when it is time to let go of something? 

When I was little I use to carry around this stuffed Humpty Dumpty, he was my best friend. Sure he wore down in the end, my Mother use to sew him up and hand him back to me with care. Then one day I stopped carrying him around everywhere I went. I can't remember why as I was so young. 

Then as I got older I started crushing on boys, I would doodle his name, pretend he had a secret crush on me too...then I would move on to a new crush with each new school year. 

It's just the fazes, trends, emotions and habits we all fall as victims into, we change or worst we fall deeper into them. Like when your young and you watch cartoons every morning, then suddenly you start watching live action teen dramas/comedies...continue on and on intill we have to catch the new episode of Dexter every Sunday night...I guess that's all part of growing up. Hey don't get me wrong, I still love cartoons! No one can ever stop me from watching Jem and the Holograms or Disney Princesses. Just how do we know when it is time to grow up...move on? 

As one grows older we become stuck in our ways, it's hard to let go. I've had friendships fall apart because we grew up and changed, once we found out that we didn't have anything in common with the persons we matured into, it crumbled then faded. It's hard to think about the changes we go through, but thats life. Knowing that something or someone is holding you back from being true to yourself isn't worth the time or pain, in the words of Jim Morrison- “A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he/she really is.”

I already feel the changes happening, the past two days I've felt more like me. I've been happy, all smiles no tears. Now that my view has grown clear and more genuine, I see what I really want and how I want to be treated. I am so ready to start my journey, but before I can rush to the starting line I have to let go of certain things. It might be tough, but in the end I will find myself and that's all that really matters. 

I end todays post with a quote from the iconic Marilyn Monroe,
"Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." 

Have a beautiful day.
