Things That Changes
The Art of Letting Go
Some things happen in life that were never meant to stay.
Like sandbox friendships that fade, or the scars our childhood brings. Like how a first love may not be your true love. But all of these are just quests, experiences we need to go through to unlock the next level.
With every storm that turns into a rainbow bridge leading us to our next destination, there are things we carry forward and things we must leave behind in the past level. And because humans aren’t perfect, we sometimes make the mistake of carrying too much with us. Still, as fate is written, what isn’t meant for us will never truly be ours, no matter how hard we try.
Life teaches us both how to hold on and how to let go. And in its own way, it gives us what truly belongs to us. Sometimes, when something feels right, it’s hard to release it. Like that one afternoon after school, walking home with friends, sharing endless silly jokes that weren’t even that funny, it felt like life could stay that way forever.
But it doesn’t.
We move on. We go to college. We grow up. And what we don’t realize then is that life can get even better, when we let go of old memories and make space for new ones.
One thing life wants us to know is not to get drowned in either happiness or sadness. Never fly too high that we forget to ground ourselves, and never sink so deep into sadness that we forget happiness still exists.
To never forget that all of it, every high and every low , are just quests and experiences.
Yours Truly,
VLC
