Emotional baggage
posted: Aug 1, 04:34 AM
You know, I sometimes find myself wondering how any of us survive in this world. We carry around so much emotional baggage. On a daily basis it weighs us down and bumps into the important “others” in our lives.
It doesn’t seem to matter how cognizant of this baggage we may be, or how neatly folded and packed we have that suitcase. The contents of the baggage usually find a way out.
Now, sometimes when the contents break free of their constraints it actually lightens the load which we’ve been carrying. We feel like the proverbial weight has been lifted from our shoulders. On the other hand, we may encounter a fellow traveler whose baggage is equally heavy and inadvertently we add to each other’s load.
It’s a tough world we navigate and travel. There are days when it would be a relief to travel light on the journey of life.
