Disconnect

Go on. Say it. It’s not a bad word. Disconnect. Unplug. Let go. We all need some alone time. We all need some time away from it all. Vacations are a bit hard right now. Our usual way of doing things are a bit hard right now. I get it. You can always turn the tv off. You can take an extra five minutes in the shower. You can go for a drive. You can take the long way home. You can just sit outside. Do whatever you need to do to get you back together. Sign off from social media. Mute you're notifications. Don't check that email. Don’t reply to that text message. Send that call to voicemail. Disconnect, just for a little while.

Detach

"The root of suffering is attachment." -Buddha

There is a meme of a bloody hand holding a rope and the words, "sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go." How many of us are damaged because we would not detach? We held on to toxic relationships. We stayed too long because we thought things would change, and we ended up damaged. We ended up bitter. We ended up insecure. We ended up suffering. We have parasitic connections to people, places, and things. Let Go! Detach before its too late.
