Life : Let It Go

Do you find someone you know change during the pandemic? I do. I change and I know some people I know also change. Change is inevitable. Whether it’s changing to become a better person or the worst one. I hope I change to be a better person. I can’t pinpoint what aspects that change within me. But I know that the way I perceive the present and dream for the future has changed.

Recently, it hit me that during pandemic I have a plan of building a future without considering someone who once I considered in the past. The difference in space and time cultivate the distance between us. The gap became bigger until it’s unreachable. So, at one point, we decided to let it go. Things happened, love lost. Cry for the lost, be grateful for the good times and move on.

Life is already hard itself without the extra baggage of bitterness. Moments ago, I had a conversation with a friend who is older than me about how my perspective of life is changing a bit. How I found myself lately appreciate every little moment in life and how I feel that I don’t have any ambitions in particular other than work hard and live well. It’s not like I have everything in life but I discovered that I have so many things to be grateful and to be happy with. My friend told me that even being able to laugh out loud is a luxury when you’re getting older. With age, comes responsibility and complexity. So it’s important to have a simple and clear focus in life. Well at least for me. I’ll embrace every ups and downs, wrinkles and greys.

Bitterness and grudges only add nothing but pain. One of the biggest lesson in my life is letting go makes you soar.

I guess this is the shortest post I ever written. Maybe it wouldn’t be considered as a full on serious post. I mean after a full year of posting nothing, this is what I can come up with. Oh well. It doesn’t matter. It’s just a blog and not a heart surgery. It’s not a matter of life and death.

Laugh. Love. Live.
