I’ve always had trouble doing this. The oodles of notes, journals, souvenirs, and memorabilia in my closet are blatant evidence that I cannot let go. Everything has special meaning attached to it. I’ve put so much time and effort into these things. What if I need them one day?

This has potential to become ridiculous. (I definitely don’t want to end up on the next season of Hoarders). So, I’ve started organizing and throwing away things that I really won’t be needing. (When was the last time I looked through “The Perfect Puppy?” Oh, ya, NINE years ago)

In terms of non-material items, though, this hasn’t been so easy, especially when it comes to friendships. 

Particularly, there is this one friendship that I cannot let go of. I know this person isn’t a real friend. She’s caused me so much trouble in the past and will only continue to do so in the future. She isn’t supportive of my relationship, she was incredibly rude when my grandmother died, and she has no respect for me as a person. The people that matter in my life have all told me to break off contact with her. So then why do I care so much when I found out she’s deleted me off of Facebook (even though her profile picture is still with me?)

It comes back to my issue of letting go - I simply can’t. I rationalize with myself that maybe she’ll change, maybe she isn’t really that mean, maybe I should give her a second chance. But I should - no, I have to - step back from my emotions and look at the situation through different eyes.

Here’s to hoping that I’ll be able to let go of her as easily as I let go of my Grade 9 Math notes.
