Leaving things behind

A rough path is the one we consciously take even though we know what that means: leaving things behind. Things that will never come back to us. Not in the way we knew them nor in the way we would love them to be back.

So it is indeed quite necessary to point out the fact that when deciding the next step we blindly jump in, much better to remind ourselves about the last chances we’re also agreeing to sacrifice to lose.

One new thing to come in exchange for an old one to abandon us.

That’s the deal with changing, and heading up to a new unknown destination, just a bit scary maybe, yet so exciting and adventurous for the traveler to walk through and get there.

Preserving things from the past can cost us an entire future,

and therefore, not being this future able to reach us or at least caress the present we still get to hold onto a thin line in this fragile time. A time that keeps us constantly forcing us to move in only one forward direction.

If wondering how to take care of the present, I would highly recommend doing so by paying attention to it carefully but with traits of an innocent and joyful soul and heart. In that way, the present will become the most valuable thing still able to be carried away with us, even when losing track of time and precious moments.

Moments that we deeply miss every time we think about them and desperately try to rescue them from the traps of time, because of the loved ones that live in those and cannot get to stay with us in the next chapter of our lives.
