"The backpack of the past makes it impossible for us to continue on our way."

~ The backpack of the past makes it impossible for us to continue on our way.

Every time we embark on a trip we get excited when it's time to arrange our luggage, and we are so delicate and pay so much attention to the things we select, we try to be careful and precise not to take something that is not useful to us, finally after a long time arranging we are ready to embark on our adventure.

We are totally sure that we have everything we need, water, food, clothes, blankets, flashlights, candy, our favorite stuffed animal and the bracelet that makes us feel protected, and so we go everywhere totally "happy", believing that nothing will be missing, even though it is such a long way, we trust in ourselves.

But, when the evening is falling, we see the beautiful colors of the sun, that magical mixture that is formed that allows us to go beyond the reality in which we are, allows us to dream, allows us to feel alive and want to continue exploring, we still have enough energy to spend the night.

Already under the light of the moon and the stars, we realize that we have a little pain, we do not know if it is in the back, in the chest, in the legs, we really do not know what is producing it and we remain pensive.

We say, "I brought just enough", "it is the right weight", just then, is when you start to remember that before filling your backpack, you forgot to empty the suitcase of your past. Everything that you feel that eats your insides, that only you know how much it hurts, you forgot to put aside the resentment, that weighs you down, that reminds you of painful things, you end up putting your feelings under very, very cruel decisions, because the weight hurts you... It pressures you so much that you have to start letting go.


When you get to this point you don't have time to think about what you are going to throw away and what you are going to keep, you feel so much that your thoughts end up being a total chaos that prevent you from continuing on your way, you throw aside friends, family, acquaintances, even the person who would be able to give his life for you, for the simple fact that you need to free yourself....

But?...was that really what you needed?.... Did you need to stop what made you happy, did you need to lose the person you loved, did you need to stop your studies, did you need to stop doing what you like, did you need to stop eating, did you need to stop smiling, no, no, it was not!

You just needed time, it was enough to accept the things that had already happened, you just needed to let go of what was choking you, leaving aside the panic attacks, leaving aside the anxiety. Although sometimes, even when you feel alone, you must look for yourself to be able to overcome that weight that is so hard for you.

The emotional burden, weakens your body, any movement you make, weakens your physical condition, the things you used to like simply become boring, thinking about your future makes you insecure, you feel it is necessary to repack your bags and go away, and you know, it's the right thing to do!

Leave behind all those things you no longer need, allow yourself to heal, allow yourself to take the time to rest, disconnect from your surroundings, focus on you, appreciate your process of growing, of moving forward, believe in yourself, in your abilities, in your dreams, in your projects. After meditating, learn to control your emotions, and pack your bags again, you will realize that you will be ready to continue and your path will be much easier to walk.
