Literally, it could be really helpful, concealing our numerous vain possessions and making our journey seem light. But guess what? They actually slow our pace somehow. But right now, I'm not interested in its literal meaning. Let's rather talk of it figuratively.

Baggage...

We all carry this about. How? In our minds, our hearts...our lives. You know what I call them? I call them 'garbage'. Oh yes, you heard me right. Now let's illustrate. Just like garbage, their initial presence may be of no importance, but we know it's unhealthy nonetheless. Gradually, they accumulate. It's time to throw them out! But nope, we don't. Notice, it's not just the papers and biscuits wraps anymore. It now comes in the form of banana peels, periwinkle shells, decayed meat. And you know what? It begins to stink! At this point, any sane person will disposed it ASAP. But do we? Literally, yes. Figuratively, no. But why? Hang on.

What garbage-baggage am I referring to?

Our thoughts, bad experiences, hurtful words spoken to us, abuses, mistakes of the past, you name them. Initially, they seem insignificant. But they keep accumulating in our minds, our hearts, cluttering up our lives. But do you know what's even more funny? We often times consciously hold on to them like our entire being depended on them! Funny, huh? We seem to think it's impossible to ever go back to the good old days, we think they can never be offloaded. These negative feelings make a mess out of our lives, they make our lives stink and if we don't let them go, they become so heavy that our pace becomes tremendously slowed!
