Once we get to a certain point in life, we all have some emotional baggage. What matters is what you do with that baggage. Some people choose to carry it around like an overstuffed suitcase. I chose that path for many years. Then I made a conscious decision to deal with it head on. I have been working on myself for a few years now, trying to figure out what has allowed me to be in bad relationships, make bad choices and experience heartache. What about me let people walk all over me. By understanding what is vulnerable about me, I hope to avoid the same habits and pitfalls. So I’ve decided to finally let go of the baggage that had been weighing me down for years. I thought about just packing it away into the recesses of my brain, but it would be too easy to pick it back up and mull over it again. So I just think I’ll burn it. Good riddance.
