Jump off. Because i love you

Let it go. Let it All go. She said. At the risk of sounding disgustingly insensitive although she was totally in tune and hurting alongwith his hurt. He said - I wear these scars as proud badges, to remind me of what i survived, of how cruel people can be and how unfair this world is. That there is no God. That devil exists and his greatest trick was to make us believe he didnt exist. You are stripping me of my glory. I will be naked and vulnerable without these. You are asking me to give up what defined me, what shaped and moulded me the way i have become today. You are asking me to let go off the ground beneath my feet. My whole existence. The only way i have learnt of relating. And she said. Well i am asking you to jump so that you can learn to fly. Yes these painful experiences have defined you...till now...they dont need to define you all your life. Every morning the sun rises and its like a blank fresh page being handed to you to write your story, your destiny no matter how awful was your past, even as recent as yesterday. Its like an unlimited second chance to start over, again and again. Grab it. You have lived your life a particular way why not try a new perspective for once? If you dont like it discard and return to the past ways of relating, you always have that freedom but atleast honestly try once. Yes you will be totally naked because you could take cover under the umbrella of your past and all your misdeeds could be justified, yes you could shirk responsibility by always blaming your past and i am taking away that comfort, that crutch from you. Its only when you release all that, its only when you scream hysterically and  bawl like a little baby, its only when you are completely bitter spouting venom and negativity and hatred and grudges and resentment, its only when you acknowledge all of that instead of run away from it all your life, its only when you truly get down and stand in the stinking murky gutter to clean it, will you be truly liberated and able to enjoy life and live to your true potential that i know is great and enormous. And i will be with you all along, throughout this process, kissing and holding you tight, comforting you when you venture into unfamiliar, uncomfortable ground. For once trust me. Jump. Because i love you.
