This Autumn, let something die.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A worry, a relationship, a project that has run its course. Let go of anxiety over the future. Let go of guilt.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of other people’s dreams for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of the fear that happiness or success or love or joyousness somehow isn’t for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of feeling unwanted. Go outside, can you feel how deeply your presence is craved here?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of the small and burdensome things. Gifts never opened. Keys without a lock. Broken earrings, old love letters, the ephemera on your fridge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As David Whyte writes, “Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” This Autumn, let go of all the clothes you have outgrown.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let go of comparison.
Let go of doubt.
Let go of the feeling that you are somehow not good enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because every imperfect apple that lays soft in your hands, and every ray of low Autumn sunlight that warms you through woolens will tell you a different story, a much truer story. The story that you are more, much more, than enough. That you bless this world simply by being alive.
