Reflections

"I don't want to keep holding hands with the memory of feeling."

It was in a song I was listening to today by Everlife and I started to reflect on moments in my life when I felt that way. There were quite a few times when I identified with holding onto something but needing to let it go. Forcing myself to remember the exact way I felt at different times in different relationships because I didn't want to forget. Its easy for me to do that because I live so close to the deep pool of my emotional soul. But sometimes I struggle with whether it is better to remember, not to wonder 'what if,' but so that I am aware of where I've come from and the choices I've made, or if it is better to move on and focus on the 'new day'.

Back to the quote though, I think that in order to heal from ended relationships we need to temporarily sever ties with feelings drawn from the relationship (good or bad)until enough time has passed.
