In life we come across so many people. Some we pass on the street, some we work with - and some we call friends. Over the course of our lives some will leave us, some will pass on and - some if they are great enough will fill your life with happiness every chance you get to see them.
Sometimes you meet people that change your life the moment you meet them.
What was so amazing about it was - that he and I - no matter how little we knew about each other (and our paths in life ) - we had this crazy understanding of where each other came from- where we were going and the tears of love and heart break that brought us to that very moment.
I have never met anyone with such a parallel life- that was so similar to mine.
We got to talking about how sometimes there are people (or how we are those people) who cannot let go of a past relationship that we have had. That no matter where your were in life... that person pops into your dreams- you text them randomly- you run into a mutual friend, etc. etc.- and we ask ourselves why cant we let go?
Is there some sort of spiritual ball and chain that has you and them bound still to each other? When one lets go- its still not enough- until there is cosmic closure.
So I got to asking myself about all the people that I have bound to my "cosmic ball and chain" Why do I still think of them? Why do I still want them in my life? Should I let them go?
why... why... why???- and with one deep breathe I pulled out a mental piece of paper and released a couple names back into the world.
You see, the important point that my friend was trying to get across to me today was this:
When we are born into this life- we have nothing and when we leave we have nothing. So being able to let go of things like relationships, furniture, photos, and even feelings like grudges should be enthralling- liberating- invigorating.
Let it all go and start all over- a rebirth of sorts- and see how you feel. After all- at the end of the day... it's just stuff. Right?
