dragging

Everyone has it.
Baggage from past relationships, situations or mistakes. It weighs us down, keeping us from things that initially should have been easy, but having to carry what feels like suitcases full of rocks makes this simple task, a process.
We get so used to carrying this weight we sometimes don't realize how much we are dragging. It becomes part of our daily struggle. Everyday while it seems that it is getting easier, the reality is, is that we are starting to incorporate it into our life a little more, making something that is not supposed to be in our life, a normal thing.
We are faced daily with the opportunity to let it go, but sometimes once we get to the point that we realize letting it go is an option we have no idea how to function with out it. The freedom that giving it away gives scares us, we don't know how to handle it. So we hold on a little longer while keeping with this twisted sense of comfort.
But how could we logically live dragging this weight when right beside us is one who is infinitely stronger than us and is offering to take it, leaving you with nothing to carry? It seems silly, but we do it everyday.
