notes on letting go, passions & new chapters

letting go is hard. of course it is. life would be much easier if it weren’t.

letting go is a natural occurrence we have to put ourselves through in our lives. sometimes we are forced to do so; sometimes we cling on until the pain of holding on becomes greater than the pain of letting go.

letting go doesn’t always have to mean letting go forever. sometimes it does, sometimes it’s only a goodbye for now. this is something i tell myself daily, as the practice of letting go is currently particularly prevalent in my life. letting go (for now) of something you thought you’d do forever, something you burned for so intently, isn’t easy. the universe also doesn’t always play gentle, especially when you spend years ignoring its gentle whispers and nudges. i choose to trust in the feelings, as they are my clearest signals of intuition, i’ve learned. i trust in my limitlessness, in new paths and new chapters. i trust in a life that holds plenty—plenty of passion, plenty of possibilities for joy, curiosity, and new findings.

it hurts to let go of the life you thought you wanted, the life you were so immersed in. it is not easy to venture out and distance yourself from the familiar, especially when the path in front of you is not yet visible to the plain eye.

but for now, i trust. i trust in the gentle waves of emotions that come through, guiding me to where i am meant to go. i trust in new possibilities, in staying open, being curious, and allowing myself to meet parts of my inner fire and passion that have so far stayed slumbering inside. i trust in my existence here on earth, and i trust in things happening for divine reasons.

not only do i trust,

i am excited and open to it all.

love, amelie ♡

a song i love & it came to mind while writing. it fits this chapter of my life and this blog post perfectly, almost magically. i found karen druckers music last year, and her songs have invited so much love, joy and peace into my life.
