Hard to let go

Seems like lots of my fellow bloggers are saying goodbye to something lately  ~  leaving their jobs , leaving  their partners  ,  leaving homes  ,  leaving   facebook   .....  

I believe human beings are by nature somewhat selfish   ~   It's a survival  mechanism . We become selfish with  those we love ~ we will fight to the end  to keep them safe . We live in couples ,  in families and in communities .  But what happens when you have to let go and say goodbye ?

One of the key differences between humans and animals is our ability to think  ,  feel  ,  express and process emotion . Human beings get emotionally attached to others . We build communities , live life in partnerships and tribes . The cycle of life is like the cycle of nature  :  birth  , life and death . Life begins and life ends … and similarly relationships begin and end .

 

It's always hard to let go and say goodbye . Feelings get in the way  ~  Sometimes these feelings actually prevent us from ending relationships we should end . Sometimes these feelings are what prevent us from letting go and our fear of intimacy is a fear of loosing our freedom  ...  

I  must admit that I actually don't deal very well with letting go in certain fields of my life  ~  I think deep down I'm scared of change and of loosing control .  A lot of my anxiety has to deal with not being able to let go and not being able to say goodbye .

 

I do understand there are good and bad things in letting go  ~  when you end something  ,  you loose something  yet you'll gain something new as well  ~  it's all about positives and negatives .

Well ,  perhaps it's something to work on the years ahead .
