It's been years since I have been on here or even thought about it but... for some reason it passed my mind and I had a huge urge to reconnect with the past. Although so much time has passed a part of me still feels trapped in the past. In some ways I have grown so much... yet in others I have been frozen ... consumed by fear... stiff ... unable to move. Those parts of myself hold me back... immobilize me... yet I grasp hard afraid to let them go... afraid of what that would mean. I cling tight to fear and pain as if somehow it can save me from future occurrence of it. I have come so far yet I'm stuck in a twisted paradox. I have accomplished so much yet so little... I have gone so far yet nowhere at all. The question is what to do now... how do I move forward once and for all. I grasp so tight to the past that it's burned deep within me. I don't know how to open my fist and release it. How do I set it free... it molded me... shaped me into who I am today... yet it no longer serves me, instead I am it's slave. I'm shackled to it, it controls me. I don't see him for who he is... I see him for who he was. I don't see his sincerity I see my fear... my childish selfish fear. I was granted a opportunity to work through it ... to erase my attachment to it... and I'm going to take it. Who knows what will come of it... perhaps part of my attachment is based around all that we had to overcome... if that is no longer relevant... does that mean he is no longer relevant. I refuse to cling to that possible reality... yet it's a possibility all the same. So much time has passed by yet so much remains the same.
