Letting Go of People and Places

Is it really worth hanging on to?

Tuesday’s Journal Prompt: Zoom out and look at the thing you need to let go from far away. Are there pieces of the picture you didn’t see before? Is there context that might explain what happened and why? From this perspective, do you think it’s possible to let the thing go?

Hi there!

When I was in my early teens, my parents built a house in Wisconsin. I lived there until I moved to Tennessee, 900 miles away.

A couple of years after I moved away, my dad lost his job. My folks decided to join me in the south. My brother bought their house, and I was happy the place I had spent so much time building was staying in the family.

After a few years, my brother wanted to move. He sold the house and never looked back.

When I found out, I was really angry.
