Roots

Wise men say, it’s important to keep rooted, to look back and cherish the past that brought us to the present. It keeps us grounded to our identity.

These days though, I’ve been pondering, if I can be okay with cutting ties and burning bridges. I wonder, if it’ll be bearable for me to stop looking out for those who were part of my past.

I guess I am still the same walking contradiction. I sometimes strongly feel that I need new ties so I can be better. And yet, I also feel that I do not need to build and nourish more relationships.
