"I'll never let go Jack", whispered Rose, as her teeth chattered as she clung to a shard of the fated Titanic and poor Jack froze to death. And then ironically, a film called 'Frozen' brings out a song called 'Let it go' as its most iconic song. I in fact, happen to adore this song. I first check there's no one else home and then turn it on and sing my heart out, arms waving and music too loud to notice how painfully out of tune I am. It's releasing and empowering and uplifting, just as its lyrics describe.
It's funny though because I'm much more of a Rose than an Elsa and letting go or giving up are not things I do easily. In fact, there has to be blatant evidence in my face before I'll finally give in and accept that things are not going the way I'd hoped and stop trying. It's a hope thing. And I think for me, a belief that what's meant to be will find a way. I, in my determination, explore all avenues to make sure there isn't way I could have missed. It can be a great trait and a ridiculous one too. There are times when the whole world can see I'm flogging a dead horse as it were, and yet I have to still be convinced myself. It does mean I am determined though and I will never let any opportunity be wasted or miss out on experiencing something because I'm too scared. I have to be thankful for that.
When, however, it does come to the time when I have to finally give up because I know there's no other option, I'm glad I have the 'Let it go' song to help me on my way. It won't actually help the letting go process but it's fabulous for releasing a bit of tension and getting the happy endorphins flowing. God bless Disney for bringing the feel good factor alive!*
