In general, I don't like to let go. It just seems like a natural reflex for me to hold on. Funny thing is the one time I can remember being in a situation where I was in peril and extremely scared, I let go. (My friend had a motorbike and was teaching me to ride, I accelerated too fast and was headed for a tree so I let go of everything: hands, feet, everything.) But when it comes to normal everyday life, emotions and expectations, I hold on for dear life. Usually it is clear to me what I'm holding on to and I hold on with full awareness.
I'm going through a thing right now that I can't quite put my finger on. I've heard a lot that if you are experiencing pain or hurt, it is because you are holding on to something. It was said that you should accept what is going on and let it be. In theory that sounds good, but what is one to do when you don't even know what you are holding on to?
I am so perplexed right now. It is difficult to even put my feelings into words - I just feel them. I am in a huge state of "I don't know" or "Ugghhh" and am unsure of how to proceed. I'm willing to let go if only I can figure out what I'm holding on to ...
