As I sit back and ponder; I can’t help but realise
There is so much I have had to leave behind.
It was not always a painful experience,
Infact; if you look at it closely we execute
the art of letting go
So easily and somewhat majestically
Day-by-day.
We do it so haphazardly that we make it look easy.
So, as I come to this realisation,
It hits me like the wave of a wildfire
Demanding attention.
Letting its presence be felt.
And so
I let it.
There is so much that I leave behind;
Memories - both good and bad,
Experiences - in the form of lessons - both harsh and graciously taught,
*insert your own letting go*
Yet somehow in this moment I feel no loss
I feel completely
Whole.
I guess this is just a reminder that;
No matter what I have to let go of in this life,
I will be A-okay.
And if “A” is not an option,
I’ll take “B” with just as much stride!
A heart full of love and
A head full of lessons.
We will “B” A-okay!
