These earrings remind me of trees, shedding their leaves every autumn, to make place for new growth.
Even though it might feel contradictory, letting go is a part of growing, moving forward. Making conscious choices about what fills us with excitement and what is weighing us down. Finding the bravery to let go off that last category. Stop clinging on to situations, contexts, relations and -last but not least- all the stuff we've collected, just for the sake of keeping old memories alive.
Like a tree growing a new ring in the heart of it's wood every year, we are also evolving and growing a new over time. Dropping leaves before winter saves energy and ensures room for the new leaves to grow when the time is right.
Just so, we are investing our energy in what suits us and gives us energy, while dropping and leaving behind what is weighing us down. By doing so, we are making room for new opportunities to unfold.
