Lately I've been reflecting about my life and the world which I live in. I really am not sure which I like better ;-)~
I had this toy let's say....and it meant the world to me. Then one day I noticed a crack in the toy. I cried about it and fretted over it and then used duct tape to hide the crack. It wasn't as pretty as it was before it cracked but it was still functional. Then another crack appeared and more duct tape was added. Still functional Yes! Not perfect but that's okay.
Then as time went by more cracks appeared, more tears, more heartache, more frustration and more worry. I was so afraid to play with it because I thought if I do this, the toy will break and I was scared. It got to the point where the toy had duct tape over every part of it. Now it didn't even work. It was gone, broken, and damaged.
A decision has to be made. Do I keep it and just don't play with it. It has such sentimental value to me. There are so many memories associated with this toy. It's been with me for so long, I don't know how to let it go.
Friends say, let it go, it's useless! It hasn't been giving you happiness in many years. Look at all the damage. Look at what that damage has done to you. You cry so much everytime it breaks, you tried so hard to fix it--and for awhile, you did! You should be proud!! But it's really gone now. You can store it but it's going to always be there and the pain will go along with it. Or you just throw it away, take the memories (good and bad) with you and you start over.
I know there are better models out on the market, but I honestly don't want to have another one because things like these.....you're not supposed to replace.
