letting go is not always easy, but it is important

Yes,
i try to search myself daily.
I do not always find the things that hold me back,
but eventually,
 they come to the front.
Then, when i see them,
they can leave,
and bring me back to peace.

How is it that we hold on to "stuff",
the stuff that bitterness is made?
We all do it,
a slight here,
an unfair action thee
and we keep it in our hearts so it can fester and poison our souls.
Why?
It hurts only us.
It keeps only us back
or does it affect those who we hold a grudge or bitterness also?
For the freedom of a butterfly,
I let them go
and maybe they will be free also.

Beautiful message about releasing what hurts us to set us free. It's so true...healing happens when you let things go. Let's not forget this.

i can relate Joey, as we free ourselves from the pain and hurts, we actually are setting ourselves free from that stress and burden, and we feel deeper sense of peace and happiness within.
