The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.
Age jolt here... the phrase 'let it go' actually did not come from the movie Frozen. I'm sure by now if you are a Disney movie fan or have kiddos you have seen the movie Frozen.
***Quick recap on our experience with this movie. While my Mom and brother were visiting us, Nina (my mom) took us all to the movies to see Frozen. By all of us it was my Mom, Uncle Wayne, Uncle Alan, 7 year old, 6 year old, 3 year old and me. Two of us in the group were okay with the movie. The rest of us were ready to leave two songs in. Also I feel like movies that consist of more singing than talking should come with a REALLY BIG WARNING.
The best thing that came out of the movie for us was the song 'Let it go'. These few words have been something that my Grandma said to my Mom, my Mom said them to me and now I'm saying it to my kids. However now, when I say these words our boys they break out in song.
That's release to me in it's purest form though. Let it go. There is so much that we hold onto for some small reason. We make this excuse to ourselves or tell ourselves this little lie. I have to stay in an abusive relationship because... I deserve this treatment from these people because... I can't do that because... I don't deserve that because...
There is something that we all battle with. There comes a point where we tell a friend and they give us that look. You know the look that I'm talking about? It's the girlfriend, let it go, look. They give us that look and realization dawns on us. Why am I holding onto this? It's okay to let this go.
Letting go does not mean that you are giving up. It means you have learned what you needed and it's time to move on.
I'm giving you the girlfriend, let it go, look. Release that thing today. Just... let it go.
Hi from your FMF neighbor! And YES! This is exactly what I was writing about — just releasing the bad stuff and letting it fade into the past.
ReplyDeleteI love what you're saying.
My kids are the ones who give me that look! I know the one that can fry bacon without a pan and can freeze a glass of water solid. They do not understand, nor do I why some things do not go from our memories! Good perspective on that movie/song. my grands have begun to sing their version: Gotta Go. I learn from them! Visiting from FMF!
