Each one of us tend to have the fear of losing, we fear that due to certain circumstances we will lose what we want to keep. But what about the consequences this fear brings with itself? What about the fear of living with this baggage of 'keeping it all close'? Do we fear living like this? Not many of us.
It is natural to get emotional when it comes to our friends, our families, our spouses, the ones we love, our personal life, our work life and our social life. And it is normal for every individual to at least once in a lifetime face trouble. Be it our love life, education, family etc. but the important question arises is that whether we face this trouble, let go of it and move on or do we get hold of these troubles and carry them as an emotional baggage everywhere we go and in everything we do.
Yes, letting go is hard. Yes, the fears that we tend to have seem to be bigger than most of our strengths. But what we forget is that strength itself is something that outcasts the fears. If we really are strong, if we really believe we have certain strengths then there shouldn't be any room for the fears. Our fears only exist because in real, we are not strong enough. Getting into traumatic situations like accidents, death of a loved one, breakups, separation or divorce, failures in school life, losing in sports, and so on. All this make us weak, all this takes our strengths and turn them into weaknesses and end up making a room for our fears to fill in. After going through so much, after losing so much, we give up but still, there's still this very part of us that always offer letting go. It then becomes our duty, an obligation to find this part and give it space, give it room to expand, give it the freedom to make us believe again. To make us think and rethink, to make us realise that yes, no matter what we have lost we still exist, don't we? We are alive, aren't we? If what has been taken away from us meant to shatter us, meant to actually 'take away our everything', we wouldn't have anything left, not even ourselves.
We are passengers in this world. Traveling towards our destinies. All of us are different beings with different stops. Some of us reach our stops without facing much trouble, some of us have to go through a lot, what's important is to keep moving. It's hard but eventually it'll get us where we should be. Because nothing really stops, as Robert Frost quote, 'in three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life; it goes on'.
