The Little Voice of Forgotten Hope

So, I'm riding the bus to work this morning, listening to music on my iPhone and playing Solitaire. This is my morning routine. Well, today I was listening to the album The Long Fall Back To Earth by Jars of Clay. It's a pretty solid album, actually. I highly recommend it.

Any way, so I'm halfway through the album and a little voice asks me "Why are you still holding on to your burden? I'm here for you. It's okay to let go."

I almost lose it right there. Everything from the past six months starts slipping away and I'm fighting back the tears so hard right now. A massive weight is already starting to ease off of me.

I keep so much to myself. The pressure I've been putting on myself has been so great that I've been feeling like I'm going to crack for months now. This burden has been so great and all this time it really hasn't been necessary in the first place.

So, now I shed the skin. It is time for me to grow and change once more. It's time for me to let go and move on. And I do believe I'm going to be okay.
