letting go

The only thing in this world that is left constant is change.

I have been living my life for 20 short years already and as I have been living it the way I have want it, I have come to realize that the essential part of growing up is to let go. No matter how we are attached to a thing, at some point in our lives we need to let go and let things be that way. Why? Maybe because in this world, we own nothing. Nothing in the sense that even though you have taken care of that thing all your life, one day you'll wake up and face reality that the thing you most cared about is gone. See? That's just how it goes. We need to let go and eventually learn.

On my account, I have let go of a lot of things in my life already. However, I know what I have let go won't be enough to attest that I have been matured, learned and understood the most complex thing, life. I am still young, I know, yet I also know that somehow I am beginning to understand that when something closes, an opening awaits somewhere. And I also believe that everything happens for a reason.

For example, I have closed the door of earning a bachelor's degree and now, I am opening the door of working. I have let go of a guy and guess what, I have met a new wonderful guy I have been spending my life for a year now! I have let go of accountancy and here I am showing to the world my analysis skills for the web. See? We have to let go in order to earn more.

Yet, why does letting go hurts when we know that in the end it could benefit us? Why does letting go seems to be so hard and learning seems to be so easy?tsk..tsk...tsk...life..so complex yet so wonderful.
