Letting go

By Abidemi MosesPublished 2 years ago 2 min read
Letting go can free the mind, you just have to close your eyes and take a deep breath.

I'm sitting here, looking out the window at the falling leaves, and I can't help but think about all the things I've experienced in my life so far. It's been a journey of ups and downs, but I know I'm ready to start over. I'm ready to let go of the past and embrace the future.

I remember the day my mother died. I was only 7 years old, and it was the first time I had ever experienced loss. I didn't understand what was happening, but I knew something was wrong. I remember sitting in the living room, watching the rain fall outside the window, and feeling like the world was ending. That was the day I realized that life was fragile, and that we can't always control what happens to us. But I also learned that we can choose how we respond to what life throws at us.

As I got older, I experienced more loss, both big and small. I lost friends to moves and other circumstances, and I had to learn to let them go. But with each loss, I also learned something new about myself. I learned that I was strong, and that I could get through difficult times. I learned that even though loss is painful, it can also make us stronger. We can take the lessons we learn from loss and use them to make our lives better. We can use them to become the people we're meant to be.

I was feeling lost and directionless. I decided to take a trip to the mountains, hoping it would give me a fresh perspective. On the way, I found a wounded bird and helped it to heal. I also found a beautiful waterfall that filled me with new energy and hope. When I returned home, I faced a difficult situation with my friends and job. But I remembered the strength and courage I gained on my trip, and I was able to resolve the conflict. Then I remembered a quote that has kept me going "Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself." - Deborah Reber.
