1974 Thorvaldsenskolen Class 1a |
My past with all the ups and downs and mainly wonderful memories came into my mind big time this week and I was reminded that sometimes holding on to things that need to be let go is a way of holding onto something that is a moment of the past and best left there even if it is a great past in the present.
That may not make sense but that is okay - it is just my mind-toggle that is currently working overdrive-frequency on this topic.
Sadness when you say goodbye to people and things that really have meant the world in the past is a natural way of the grieving process and it is what made me think about this whole past subject and how it impacts everything we do - if we allow it.
Friendships happened in the past and they happen in the present.

I experienced one of these changes and it saddened me to the depth of my heart. Distance had put a friendship in a time capsule for a later revisit or maybe never again.
Good friends will always be in my heart and I will probably shed loads of tears over the absence of the fun, laughter, love, tears and times we have not spent and that I thought we would spend together in the future.
Letting go of what we think is our make-up is a daunting thing and it is okay to keep holding onto when the make-up is willing to stick... At times it is time to let go.
Everything happens for a reason and when it happens it is that moment the reason became a reason.
You always have a place in my heart, my friends, new ones and old ones - those from the past and those from the present.
Those who said 'goodbye' and those who said 'hello'.
No matter what, I will always be there if you need me - I may not be just around the corner but I am only a phonecall away.
You are my homies!
