Sometimes a feeling has been around for so long that it can be hard to let go
even if it's for the best,
even if it feels like it's a part of who you are,
even if you're a little nervous that you'll still be you on the other side.
Habits are hard to kick, and so are emotions.
We know a song about letting go ....... (said in best children's TV presenter style)
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow Oh, but God, I want to let it go Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone Couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show Never wanted it to be so cold Just didn't drink enough to say you love me I can't hold on to me Wonder what's wrong with me Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow Oh, don't want to let it lay me down this time Drown my will to fly Here in the darkness I know myself Can't break free until I let it go Let me go Darling, I forgive you after all Anything is better than to be alone And in the end I guess I had to fall Always find my place among the ashes I can't hold on to me Wonder what's wrong with me Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without Lithium, I want to stay in love with you Oh, I'm gonna let it go writer: Amy Lee for Evanescence (awesome music vid here)

I am not good at letting go. Not good at all. It is not one of my better traits, I fear.
Good luck to you. And thanks for the song!
This is oh so mysterious.
Any timeline on when you're going to clarify any more? :)
I love the song (and the music video of it is amazing - i love Evanescence).
Letting go is difficult - there is some comfort in the same old, same old but it's also holding me back from getting out there and getting on. To clarify, it's more a set of complicated emotions which Have To Go than a radical personality change .... but on the other hand, as alluded to, this complicated set of emotions has been a big part of my life and relationship for a long time and I'm a little worried that they are now a. ingrained and set in stone, and b. form who I am.
I'm not sure if anyone on the outside will notice much of a difference (except hopefully that I'll be more energetic and free to start achieving a lot more) but internally (she says, piling on even more mystery) it could possibly make me a more peaceful and graceful person.
