letting go

There are things in my life that I have become really attached to that may be preventing me from growing as a person. The struggle I've been dealing with is that I don't know how to move on without letting go of those attachments. I'm sure there is a way and that time will help but in the interim it is a constant tug-of-war in my heart. Hopefully, I can pick apart the things I want to keep with me as I grow and leave behind the memories that are impeding me. I wonder if we ever “get over” things, though. I am starting to understand that every experience grafts itself in our minds and that we never really “move on.” I guess the real feat is to be able to live your life in a happy and productive way while learning from those experiences. At least I hope so!
