I recently found myself in combat, fighting with someone over something I thought I deserved.
I think I felt I needed to stand up for myself.
I put everything, everything on the line.
Mid-argument, feeling stressed, exhausted, sad, disappointed - it hit me that I did not truly want what I was fighting for.
What I was experiencing was a misguided battle for something that used to be important to me but no longer was.
A relic.
It was time to let it go.
I
dropped the fight right in the middle of feeling all tangled up in it. I
lay my weapons down. I said I was sorry and explained where I was
coming from.
The stress diminished. The sadness. The disappointment. Gone.
I feel free.
I am going to stop fighting over anything I don’t actually want, and I wish the same for you.
