Let Go

Last Friday (yesterday, because today is Saturday), while having our PE class, which fortunately and unfortunately is Arnis, I had a realization. Right after having the practical test which was Sinawali 4, I saw a dried leaf. It was there on my jogging pants. Well, the funny thing was, my first instinct is to look up to see where it came from. I saw that the trees there have many dried leaves that slowly fall to the ground.

My realization?

I realized that the trees are like people. The leaves, on the other hand, are like sad experiences. If the trees continue to bear the dried leaves in their branches, there would never be enough space for new, evergreen leaves to grow. But, if they let those dried leaves fall, there will be enough room for leaves to grow which will make it a more beautiful and attractive tree. Pretty much like humans, isn't it? If we let the heart-breaking experiences remain in our hearts and rule over us, there will never be a portion in our hearts wherein we can put all the happy memories that make us strong. On the other hand, if we let go of these lonesome experiences, there will be enough space for new beginnings and merry encounters. Learn to be brave. Life isn't meant to be mourned and endured. It is meant to be remembered and embraced. =)
