Honestly speaking. We never laugh at the sound of the word fall least it has never happened to us. It’s not an experience to hold a jubilation party for. Not a sight pleasurable when someone is falling. No one in their rightful minds could opt for falling to the ground.
Hey. Listen up. I bring you a different perspective of the word the fall. The word that’s famous for pain, makes tears rain down your makeup, the one word that gets you embarrassed at parties when you get landing on that floor.
Now imagine that falling represents letting go, letting the less important things have no room in our lives. Imagine falling as a way to create room for brand new people in our lives, room for new beginnings. Don’t stop imagining. Imagine falling representing redesigning who you are.
I got a chance to take a hideout, away from the noise, away from destruction yesterday. A leaf fell on my face. Of all places, my face. I didn’t angry. That is when I saw the need and importance of falling. It is a good fall for the tree, a good fall for the ground. This is the kind of falling I call lovely.
Many of us, our lives need to take the twist. We have held onto many dry things in our live, things that won’t at make us better people rather miserable. The attics of our brains are holding onto things that won’t leave past today. We are letting castoffs fill up the honorable space. We are keeping items, people that got their time done in our lives.
The time is now that we let go…let go of the pains of yesterday. Let go of people and friends that lost value to our lives. I am not up for causing Individualism. You know what am talking about. Maybe the right friends are not coming your way because you have no room for new things.
It’s we draw our inspiration from the nature around us. We need to emulate the trees in our compounds. There comes a point when they shed off their leaves. They always show us how beautiful it is to let dead things fall. You never know if anything else might use them. They let them fall away, with no rushing they wait for new leaves to come. That moment brings to life the phrase ‘good things come to those who wait’
Seasons change, people change. It’s your turn to change for the better. It is your turn to let them fall. No better turn to enjoy the falling than now. Let the fears, the friends that add no value to you, the memories that reproduce anger, the places that remind of betrayal. Let them fall to the ground, it is then that you can wait for brand new season, one that is colorful.
Don’t be afraid of the falling. Don’t quake at the feeling of a falling off friend, a memory. Take time, Enjoy the Falling.
