One of the biggest issues I have seen people deal with is detachment issues and when I talk about detachment issues, it is not only the relationship aspect of it, rather the little things as well. It can be pretty hard to let go of things especially when you have out grown them. It is like looking at yourself from a different view point and saying there is need for it. We look for more and more reasons why we should keep it or hold on to it for as long as possible.
It is like a quote I heard from Braiden Fulcrum over an Instagram reel of his, he says people buy with emotions and explain with logic. He believes that there is an emotional reason for why people purchase whatever it is they buy, then use logic to justify it. This is why you can see people do not give up on games they played while they were kids. This I am guilty of. I still play games that played a part in my childhood days and guess what I still enjoy them.
This human factor of finding it hard to detach is what brands and product have hacked into, even the movie industry. Here is the thing, this detachment issues come with memories we chose not to forget especially when they are good ones. It made us special, feel among and other kinds of special feelings that come with it. It is easy for this detachment issues to come with nostalgia. It is a like a full package. You buy one and get the other for free. You do not even ask for it. Well it is not bad to relive the memories that were once dear to us in special ways.
Where it comes in different is if these detachment issues come with their sad feeling or negative energy. Holding on to something is not bad but when it starts to affect your daily living and moving forward is where there is a problem. At this point you need the strength to move on. It is never easy and people say it is quite easy for the other person who is not in the picture expressing the pain to say move on. Well, it does not change the fact that letting go might be the best if you want to start afresh.
Also you need to create space for new things by letting go of something. This is where the true test comes into play. How willing are you to let go? Take it this way, you decide over the weekend that you want to clean you bookshelf which you did but now it is time for you to add the new books you just got. There is no space so you have to take out some books from the shelf. As a book lover, you can agree with me that we can pretty much get attached to our books which is why I am always concerned about when a friend who borrowed my book will return it back. Now how do I let go of some books in the bookshelf for new one. Although I have read the ones in my shelf but my brain begins to create reasons that I might need to take a look at them again. This is where the logic comes into play for the emotion you are feeling at that moment.
Relate it back to an actual human memory and there you have it, the detachment issue you are having. It is never easy to move pass the memories but it becomes helpful to let go to create new ones.
