Good bye Nasser Garden! Hello Blue Jurdab!
Yes! The rumors were true. We packed up and left Nasser Garden last Saturday to say "Hello" to our new home in Blue Jurdab. It's crazy how everything worked out so fast. What's even crazier is how everything is about to change. A new chapter in our lives is about to unfold. With a new house, new environment, new neighbors, and new everything, things will definitely be different from this day forward!
Moving out of Nasser Garden has been in talks for a good while now. Even though all throughout I have known about it, I just can't believe that it happened already. I am still in shock. Hahaha. Mixed emotions? Yes!
But the time has come for us to part ways with our old house (Nasser Garden) and move on to a better place (Blue Jurdab). Think about it! No more tear gas at random times of the day. No more worries of seeing our favorite pet run around the house. No more AC that doesn't get cold enough. No more so many other things. But then it's sad to know that the people and memories we leave behind always makes us so nostalgic.
While I was in deep thought about all this while mom and I were packing boxes and moving out, I realized that this move made me think about 3 important life lessons that was so applicable to our situation:
• Letting go of unwanted baggage
• Leaving the past behind
• All these in exchange for something better
We often hold on to things that are dear to us. It's always hard to let go. Once we get attached to something, it's a struggle to leave it behind us even when we know that it is unnecessary baggage. It's human nature to hold on to things, memories, and people. But all that is in the past.
Leaving the past behind is a hard task for many people to accomplish. The past represents a lot of things. It represents memories, good and bad, that we always cling on to. The past means parts of our lives that we always want to go back to. The past symbolizes the good life (or bad) that we once had and will always be a part of our journey in life, a part that shaped who we are today.
But knowing how things work in life, we should let go of the things that we hold dear to in the past and must embrace the new blessings that God has graciously given us to receive. We should let go of the things that will weigh us down. But remember the past experiences that taught us valuable insights. In life, we only climb to the top. That is the way to go. We don’t climb back down and revert to the old ways, and cling on to the unwanted baggage. Let’s shake it off for better things are always in stored for people like us.
Who would ever think that moving houses could have deeper meanings and symbolisms? Hahaha.
Anyway, the new house looks like a house now after a few days of sorting things out and finding their place. There's still a lot to be done though. I'm ready to get this place fixed up so we can have friends over and show them the crib. PARTY!!!
As much as I love you Nasser Garden and all the memories we made, it's time to let go and move on.
