Some of us think holding on makes us strong,
but sometimes it is letting go.
~ Hermann Hesse

Many of us like to think of ourselves as someone-ers or someone-ists.

Earlier this year, an event happened that challenged what I thought were my absolute identifiers. Suddenly they no longer applied. For several weeks, I madly grasped at many pursuits that seemed to be opportunities towards resurrecting that former identity. Little did I understand that I was holding onto someone who no longer existed.

Ultimately, letting go created the time and space to meet new people and build authentic connections, invest in better relationships and have meaningful conversations, enjoy a once in a lifetime experience, and have great moments of peace.
