Leaving It All Behind

The nature of moving forward

Is leaving things behind

And the more we carry with us

The heavier things become

Some things are certainly worth holding onto – 

Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye. 

Not because we can’t

But because doing so means facing our own mortality

It means coming to the realization, that everything is temporary.

If it’s not now, it’s later – it’s just a matter of time.

Just one more moment, until there are no moments left.

If you’re going to hold onto something

Hold on because it’s right.

Don’t hold on because you’re too afraid to let it go. 

Shedding is a way of making space –

Making space for the people and things that actually matter.

Because it’s only in making space, that possibility reigns supreme. 

If moments are indeed limited- 

Then it’s best to make those moments count.
