Letting Go 

A meteor struck you and you feel the ground beneath your feet cracking open. You tossle and turn trying to keep your balance but you’re delivered face flat onto the ground by the commotion. This is the nature of when someone close to you hurts you. When someone close to you strikes your world like a meteor shower rendering you helpless in the blaze of catastrophe. Something dies in this catastrophe. Something you never wanted to lose. A friendship. A lover. Something.

Relationships are one of the deepest attachments you will come by. Relationships in any form matter of factly. Once we gain that attachment to someone, we give them pieces and pieces of ourselves hoping that they would never leave. Hoping that they would honor the value you see. We begin to think that the bond is impenetrable. That nothing could break it or loosen the knots. Sadly, sometimes we are founded wrong in this and our world shatters apart. Sometimes we are forced to make a decision to take care of our own mind and heart that we need to break the bond. Or sometimes, the other person breaks the bond for us leaving us to be fallen on cracked, bleeding knees looking to the sky for help.

Our being becomes a haunted house being hunted down by memories of this attachment. You fail to let lose the person mentally and constantly inflict injuries onto your skin. Your state of being deteriorates as the memories create their own ghost town. The bond laid charred at your feet and you simply refuse to let go.

But my darling, let me tell you this. Letting go heals. It heals you tenfolds. Healing never occurs right away. At first you must reach your lowest, and then gently apply love, peace and soothing thoughts as ointment onto your injuries. You must practice self-love. It is as easier said than done. Letting go is one of the most difficult tasks ever, even when memories are still freshly alive with their seductive scents enticing you to hold on.

Once you have let go, you will find yourself either consciously or unconsciously being transformed. You will see relationships and situations in a new light. You will learn to deal with the fact that not everyone is meant to stay in your life. Most importantly, you will be a dove set free. You will be a DOVE. You will represent peace and freedom because you will have a deeper sense of who you are, and the kind of relationship you want for yourself. So letting go heals. Letting go births a DOVE.
