You really grabbed me with the Titanic scene, as I and every other person who watched the film wondered why Rose couldn’t scootch over just a little bit and give him some room. At least try. I think they should have made that piece of driftwood/that door a bit smaller, because maybe then we wouldn’t blame her so much.

BUT ANYWAY, that’s not the point. I have to say I really related to the wanting to cling onto relationships that some people would have easily been able to walk away from. From carrying it all on your shoulders, from holding onto the past because sometimes it keeps you grounded or knowing who you are and if you don’t find that identity in home or place the way some other people to, your relationships can kind of do that. But sometimes, the best thing is to let go — and sometimes letting go can give you what you’re seeking more than clutching tightly ever could.

It’s hard to let go. Sometimes it feels like betrayal. Sometimes it feels like being disloyal. Sometimes it looks to other people as if you are a “bad person” or “giving up.” But sometimes it’s the best thing to do for all parties involved. Letting go sometimes gives you the space to embrace something new, something nourishing, something different. But like you said, it requires more courage and faith and bravery sometimes than holding on.

Oh life.

Dropping by from the link up and definitely adding you to my reading list.
