Letting go to start afresh
One of the biggest issues I have seen people deal with is detachment issues and when I talk about detachment issues, it is not only the relationship aspect of it, rather the little things as well. It can be pretty hard to let go of things especially when you have out grown them. It is like looking at yourself from a different view point and saying there is need for it. We look for more and more reasons why we should keep it or hold on to it for as long as possible.
It is like a quote I heard from Braiden Fulcrum over an Instagram reel of his, he says people buy with emotions and explain with logic. He believes that there is an emotional reason for why people purchase whatever it is they buy, then use logic to justify it. This is why you can see people do not give up on games they played while they were kids. This I am guilty of. I still play games that played a part in my childhood days and guess what I still enjoy them.
This human factor of finding it hard to detach is what brands and product have hacked into, even the movie industry. Here is the thing, this detachment issues come with memories we chose not to forget especially when they are good ones. It made us special, feel among and other kinds of special feelings that come with it. It is easy for this detachment issues to come with nostalgia. It is a like a full package. You buy one and get the other for free. You do not even ask for it. Well it is not bad to relive the memories that were once dear to us in special ways.
Where it comes in different is if these detachment issues come with their sad feeling or negative energy. Holding on to something is not bad but when it starts to affect your daily living and moving forward is where there is a problem. At this point you need the strength to move on. It is never easy and people say it is quite easy for the other person who is not in the picture expressing the pain to say move on. Well, it does not change the fact that letting go might be the best if you want to start afresh.
Also you need to create space for new things by letting go of something. This is where the true test comes into play. How willing are you to let go? Take it this way, you decide over the weekend that you want to clean you bookshelf which you did but now it is time for you to add the new books you just got. There is no space so you have to take out some books from the shelf. As a book lover, you can agree with me that we can pretty much get attached to our books which is why I am always concerned about when a friend who borrowed my book will return it back. Now how do I let go of some books in the bookshelf for new one. Although I have read the ones in my shelf but my brain begins to create reasons that I might need to take a look at them again. This is where the logic comes into play for the emotion you are feeling at that moment.
Relate it back to an actual human memory and there you have it, the detachment issue you are having. It is never easy to move pass the memories but it becomes helpful to let go to create new ones.
I am @samostically, a chess player and writer. I love to share the experience I have gained from different battles over the 64 squares and the knowledgeable insights from books I have read. But most importantly, I am a Midnight Owl and I founded the community Midnight Letters.
Hey, I still play the same games I did as a kid and I enjoy it too, hehe, but I don't think I'm that attached to them. I'm open to new things, I enjoy letting go of things and learning new things.

HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.
I can't agree less with you, whatever I own there is always an emotional attachment to it, even if I managed to detach most times I give them out to people that I am very certain will use them and take good care of them, it's a natural thing.
You're right with everything you said. It's had to detach with whatever I have. Because everything I have are so dear to me, even if I buy something related to what I have, I will make sure to keep everything together or give it to someone I know will keep it safe and dear to themselves.
I agree with your viewpoint of detachment. Me, too, also struggle detaching to someone or to an object, because I am really passionate of giving value to them and am sentimental person. When it comes to people, detachment is a really difficult decision. It needs strength to detach and a courage to face life without these people. But most of us struggle doing it because of the attachment style we received as an infant with our primary caregivers. And as adults, the familiar is always safe, hence, we fear of leaving something or someone that/who is the only familiar to us. May everyone find the courage to let go of things that stops them from growing. Everyone needs to leave when needed.
I really like how you frame detachment not as loss, but as making space for something new. Definitely a smart and healthy way of thinking
Hello Sam, your post has really elaborated "letting go" however, it is mind blowing to find out that some individuals live a care free and nonchalant life such that as dear as their spouses are to them, they dont have such attachment or passion towards losing them to somebody else. I leave it there. For the ones that are humane, and passionate, this scenario is evident in their lives.
For example, I attach serious importance to my electronic gadgests and as a result, I still have some of my very old phones I have used and are bad. But because of how well they served me, throwing them away becomes a serious issue for me. I held unto one of my bad MP3 bluetooth for months until I stumbled unto an electrical engineer in our factory that helped repair it for me.
Even when I have purchased a new one. Lol, Honestly, I found it difficult letting go, especially when I love something. But learning and improving is something we need to practice. I am learning not to be over passionate lest they play with my emotions. Thank you for sharing. !HBIT @savvytester. TGIF

"Letting go to start afresh" is very difficult because of the time spent in it, you create some kind of emotional connection that's difficult to break. This could also be used in investments, sometimes you hold a crypto that's down for a long time, difficult to sell it but you can think "can I do something better with the money in that crypto; Is there something better than it?" If the answer is yes, it's better to move on.
Memories are always permanent and to bypass it might not be easy. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a great write up. This directly spoke to me on the need of letting go on what need not to be kept. I will make use of the lessons here and i am sure i will overgrow this phase.
I’m glad it helped!
