The older you get, the more baggage you collect and eventually have to sort through. You keep telling yourself you will get around to sorting through it, but that day never seems to come around.


So in the end, you are surrounded with things you knew should have either discarded, or at least have dealt with at some point in your life.

Most of the baggage we have as we grow older is not the type that clutters up the garage or fills cupboard space to a point where its overflowing and ready to tumble down the moment a single item is moved a fraction on an inch.


The real baggage we carry fills our minds and makes our hearts heavy with regret, disappointment, and sometimes, even anger. This is the baggage that weighs us down lile a tin of bricks, and clouds our present day, but our future.


No matter how we rearrange the baggage in our minds and in our hearts, its still with us. The only way to begin clearing the excess baggage is to open your heart and mind and talk with someone who cares and is willing to listen, take away some of the baggage a piece at a time.

Until there is room in your heart and mind to let in love, kindness and affection, the baggage will continue to clutter your life.
