We Hold On

We hold on so tight at times. To beliefs, to each other, to the past, to old hurts. We hold onto our seats when we’re flying through the countryside in our first car, we hold our breath. We hold….

But when do we let go? 

When does all that holding turn around and we realize that we can’t hold our breath forever? That we will die inside if we continue to hold onto the anger and the fears inside. That we will start to wither away if we hold onto the life we once had. That we can’t hold her, can’t hold him but we can let them go and see what happens… 

Maybe it’s not that old adage ‘if you love something, let it go and it will return to you’, but I guarantee that when you open up your hand, open up your heart you will get something in return. Possibly something greater, something new. Something beautiful. 

So hold onto the truth that we can’t truly hold on to anything. Not really. Well, maybe our faith… But can you really hold faith, or do you just have to let go and believe?
