Are you holding onto "the box"?
Perhaps it's a wooden box, a shoe box or it might just be an ordinary cardboard box, but either way, it's contains memories from your past.
In this box there are items you consider to be sentimental. Perhaps it has stuff from past relationships or just other random items you.
I had that box until recently, but then I realized it was time to let go.
I didn't throw everything out that was in the box. I chose to keep a stopwatch given to me by my former track coach and a pent my uncle gave me when I was in first grade.
Other things I decided to make only a fading memory. I threw out the key to my first car because there's literally no reason to hold on to it. I'll never see it again, nonetheless drive it, so what's the point of holding onto the key? I remember the car.
I also threw out my pictures from senior my senior prom. I'm actually embarrassed that those were even in there.
What good does it do to hold on to these memories when they're just sitting there collecting dust. That was the case for me which is why I had to get rid of it.
It would've been a sing that I can let go of my past had I not been able to get rid of that box.
Even though our past makes us who we are today, it doesn't make sense to allow the past to sit there and collect dust.
You're not deleting your past by throwing away the box, you're embracing what the future has in store.
Think about how pathetic I would look if I held on to those prom photos.
Like I said, some things are OK to keep, like the stopwatch and the pen. At the same time however, there are things we have to be willing to let go of, mainly the negatives.
We never take pictures of the bad things that happen to us, so we would we hold onto the bad things.
Even thinking about good times can get depressing because it gives you a desire to go back.
