Letting go is scary, but often we hang on to things, people, relationships, resentments, self-righteousness, and so on, out of fear (of losing control, of the unknown, of not knowing what else to feel, etc.). And, that's no way to enjoy life, IMHO. Still, I battle with this constantly, as y'all can see from my story. It's a journey, and all I can hope is that it's moving forward and not backward.
Thanks for all your helpful comments, and encouragement. I don't know where I would be without this forum.
A friend said to me recently that the toughest thing to let go of is our manuscript. We have written this story, beautiful, happy story about our life. Then someone comes along and starts to edit this work without our permission.
Letting go of my manuscript has been tough, yet the closer I get to actually burning that one and starting a new one, the closer I can feel myself getting to genuine happiness.
