Till death do us part.

Welcome to Series 1, Blog Post 1 (BP1).

I want you to get comfortable and follow the text closely. I hope you can take something special from it.

Let me start with this – I have a problem.

Let me explain.

Why is it that we fail to successfully decipher or accept when something is dead? When a thing is lifeless and no longer has the ability to serve its purpose? When it has expired, changed colour and even begins to give off a bad smell? *Sigh*. Despite all these indicators, we still keep holding on to it. As a people and community, we choose to carry dead weight emotionally, mentally and spiritually – This is my problem.

Can you recall being in this situation or perhaps you are currently carrying dead weight? Dead weight in your mind or heart, holding on hoping circumstances will change?

Let me be more specific.

There are friendships and/or relationships that have simply grown apart or bitterly sour, individuals who only know how to take from you leaving you drained, people who judge or criticise your choices just because they are not happy with the ones they made and therefore push their insecurities on you. Let’s keep it 💯.

Or how about…

A decision you made many years ago in your youth, that plays on your mind from time to time. It comes by uninvited to remind you of how bad of a person you are and don’t deserve anything good in life. The forgiveness you asked for from the mistakes you made, have become a memory which doesn’t seem to go away as it has buried itself into your subconscious.

Or perhaps…

A missed opportunity that you believe was your breakthrough, your ticket to another level in life. If only you got that job, got into that university or if that person kept their promise to you, life would be much different.

Think about it for a moment.

Certain relationships, past mistakes or missed opportunities sometimes are life lines we attempt to hold on to, when in reality they have parted ways from us. #FACTS.

….. till death do us part…..

There is only so much one can carry. The mind, spirit and soul have been designed to invite and house a proportion of what we feed it with. In fact, we have crammed and squeezed things into our system which have already died, things which add no value or no longer carry purpose.

My message is this: Cut the cord and let go of all the dead weight you’re carrying. Dead weight is extremely heavy. You are no longer accountable to it, nor do you owe an explanation for it. Just cut yourself loose. There is nothing to feel bad about, it’s dead and you are free! Give thanks for how far you have come and be motivated by how light you can be if you cut it loose!

You can be as light as you want to be, burden free if you choose to be, so I leave it with you – what’s it going to be?

    I find it soo easy to guilt trip myself & find excuses or reasons why those things and sometimes even people should stay apart of my life. Honestly love this piece 💗

  3. Thank you for articulating this So well Angel. It’s so hard to let go sometimes because of our expectations or because of what we had hoped for but we definitely have to be intentional about leaving dead weight behind and cutting the cord as you mentioned, when needs be!
