In my opinion, I think that so many relationships don’t last because people fail to really let go of the previous relationship before getting into the next.
I liken that baggage some of us carry to barnacles on the bottom of a boat. It looks pretty up top where everyone can see, but under the surface, it’s just nasty. Barnacles cling, they multiply and eventually take over if they aren’t cleaned off. They can clog the motor and your boat won’t be able to even move forward, just like a relationship.
You can pretend everything is all good, but eventually the issues you never dealt with will resurface and often ruin things.
Yeah, I know I said letting go…I’m going to get there.
Some people don’t know how to let go…
He/She still has my clothes
He/She still has my pictures
He/She still owes me money
He/She still has my….
It may be hard, but those are all THINGS. Things that you acquired and most that you can acquire again. If he/she doesn’t have a child in common? Leave that shit at the door and start your healing!
Sometimes all it takes is saying or hearing those two words out loud
Let go.
