Grab my Bags and Go.

so i grab my bags and go, as far away as i can go, cause everything ain't what i used to know

People always talk about having baggage, worries, problems, stuff they always carry around in their head, but really what is this baggage? Why can it be that one situation, one mistake, can sit with a person for the rest of their life, and ultimately send them down a completely different path than the one they really thought they were destined to travel?

Whilst reading a friend's musings on his blog, I've had a massive realisation about this baggage. People really need to just step back, pick up their proverbial suitcases and throw them the hell out of the plane. Life is just way too short to let a simple thought screw them up and mess with their lives. Truth is, everyone is guilty of letting their baggage catch up with them and mess up with things; I myself am certainly not a stranger of trying to run away from it, believe me I have a lot of baggage that I seem to be unable to rid myself of. But this realisation, this minor breakthrough, has helped me to see that I no longer need to carry these things around.

So i'm gonna grab my proverbial bags, my thoughts and my past mistakes have been neatly packed away and I'm going to throw them into the wind. Life is too short for me to let these things change me anymore, the baggage is gone.
