Are you attached?
Is there something in your life that you are attached to that is very difficult to give up? Do you own something that has some personal value that is irreplaceable? I'm sure that everyone can answer "yes" to both questions. It's human nature to be attached to someone or something. Even nature (animals) have some form of attachment to their belongings. It's also human nature to be sad when you have to let something go or see it disappear.
I'm sure that everyone encountered an experience where they had to say good bye to a close friend; whether the cause of the departure was by death or simply moving away. Can you remember the feeling of emptiness, sadness, pain in the heart, or simply "why does this have to happen?" All of the sudden happy memories of the past pop in your head which make your sadness escalate even worse. The bottom line...is the feeling of good ol' sadness eats you up!
To my fellow blog readers...no one died, nor did I lose anything. It's just something that I'm dealing with today that has some personal aspects that I will not share to the blog world. Without getting into personal details, here is just a mock interpretation of a similar scenario. Imagine knowing someone or something in your life where you seen it grow from it's early development to what it is now. You nurtured it to the way you want it to grow, but obviously things sometimes don't grow the way you want them to. Life isn't always a smooth road, although we would like it to be the majority of the time. Let just say that this someone or something is something you love, but at the same time you cannot stand it at times because of it's downfalls. Then a scenario starts where this someone or something becomes a nusance to others, yet at the same time, this is something that you're very fond of. What do you do? Can you find a solution to eliminate the nusance? Can you just hide this someone or something? Can you stomach letting it go?
This whole issue reminds me of any mother who has a son or daughter in prison. I can only imagine the feeling that the mother is experiencing. She raised it as a child, but cannot control the criminal action of her child. The mother may be embarassed, disappointed, but deep inside, that mother still has love for that criminal that she gave birth to. I'm sure it's painful for that mother to see their child behind bars, but it's something that is out of her control. How do mother's cope with these situations.
To sum everything up....I'm attached to something right now and seeking solutions to see how I can live without it. This has no correlation to my current relationship either. This something can be anything. It can be an addiction, it can be a plant, it can be a toothbrush....the list can go on! In the meantime....here's a very male chauvantist comment I heard the other day about women that somewhat relates to this attachment theme, "You can't live with them, and you can't live without them.
