What, or whom, did I let go of this year? This is a difficult this. I can think of so many things that I want to let go of but haven't yet made the commitment to do so. I'm in the process of removing a few things from my present life and attempting to put them in the past, but when I'm really honest with myself I know that those things still hang on to my heart a little too tightly.
I have, to be sure, let go of the notion that being "independent" means being alone. I have packed up my whole little life and combined it with the life of someone whom I love very much. I am no longer alone. I share almost everything with another person; space, time, food, fear, dreams. And yet I know, quite assuredly, that I am still myself. I am an independent person who does things for herself without expecting, or accepting [much to his chagrin], the help of someone else. I still dance to my own beat. The awesome thing is, I've found someone whose beat compliments my own in a way I never would have expected. He's the *boom boom boom* to my *doodladoo-n-doodladoo-n* and we dance as ungracefully together as you can imagine.
