LETTING GO

    Today I have been feeling just about every emotion in the book, but the most distinct of these has been melancholy. Melancholy over a friendship that has seen better days and melancholy over a life that is changing. I realize that often we grow apart from certain friends and although our gratitude and our memories of those people will stay with us forever, being in a relationship with them no longer serves our greater good. In the same vein, I also have to let go of the life I know today in order to step in the direction of the one that is right for me. I'm okay feeling the melancholy. I just want to acknowledge it as a healthy part of letting go. Good news is that after the melancholy comes peace.
