I have a hard time letting go objects, possessions and figures that are once close to the heart. I find it difficult to take a leap ahead because I carry this baggage around me.
Sometimes, I just wish that my past was a tad different. Not extreme changes like different families and etc but subtle changes like the people I used to associate myself with and etc. This is because the past hinders me from doing things differently. I feel that if I acted a different way than how I usually do, I feel like I’m swindling what I had despite it being gone ages ago.
Thus, I am now afraid to test new waters, afraid to take the plunge, afraid of being hurt again. But then again, how do you live life if you’re too afraid to try new things.
It’s truly a burden when you secretly want to be different but the heart says otherwise.
I’m 22 but I’m acting like a 60 year old. Someone needs to give me a vigorous shake and tell me that it’s ok to do things out of the norm.
I need to have the courage and write new pages of my life.

Here's your "good shake" from a stranger. I'm closer to 60 than I am to 22 - but it is okay to do things different than the norm. In fact, often it is healthier to be "out of the norm."
The past is behind you and although it is a part of you you don't need to let it define your future.
