Wisdom of friends

I have friends whose influence on me could not be more positive. I am going to listen to them.

One said to me last night that I may be taking comfort in continuing to feel the way I do, that sometimes the familiar pain can be easier than letting it go, and that it is only a conversation with myself at this point. She recommended a ceremony to finally break free, and I am thinking of little ceremonies I can use to clear out the emotional clutter left behind that is no longer serving me.

It is not the first time the idea has surfaced, I just realize now that it is the only way.
