Allow Parts of Yourself to be Undead

It’s said that if you love someone or something you must be able to let it go. Letting go of something you love is how you can ignite change in that thing. Love can be binding. It requires commitment. Sometimes not everyone or everything is cut out for long-term commitment, at least within certain aspects. When you let go of a noun you allow that noun to flourish unencumbered by the restraints that were once in place because of the nature of relationship.

This process can be difficult to internalize. It can be challenging to let go of certain people, places, and things for various reasons. But the argument for doing so on appropriate occasions is that by letting go of something you love; you free your capacity to give that energy to something else. Like what I write in the article “Healthy Hurts”, your capacity and ability to demonstrate different emotions and behaviors towards other people, places, and things in a mutually beneficial way, is meant to be dynamic.
