The Death Card…

This is not the message I expected I’d have to deliver on a Saturday, so prepare yourself. A piece of you must die today. I know you are thinking, “Oh come ON, Holly - this is not fair.” But, I also expect you know exactly what I mean with this piece of news. There is a part of you that you have been dragging around with you, trying desperately to keep alive and, while it will be challenging, it is now time to let that part of you go quietly into the night. You don’t need it anymore - it is only weighing you down. Confront that which you have been avoiding. Do the difficult thing by letting this part of self cross over, so that something new and fresh can grow in its place. If it truly is an emotional experience for you, let yourself mourn tonight. Heck, hold a memorial and buy yourself some red, red roses to honor what you are saying goodbye to. Rebirth is on the other side of this moment, so don’t hold onto the sadness too long. You got this…it will all be ok.
