Sometimes it’s a hard concept to wrap your head around, this whole giving up thing.

Is it really okay to give up on something or someone? What if you’ve dedicated years of your life to it? If you’ve sacrificed, and others have sacrificed with you in support? But now you’re just going to quit?

Yeah. And it’s okay to do just that.

Just because you’ve dedicated years to something doesn’t mean you should continue to. What if you were actually wasting years on something? What if you’re meant to be doing something else and you refuse to move forward because of the time you’ve dedicated on a different path?

I don’t know much about actual gypsies, but in my mind, they’re mysterious travelers with a thirst for adventure and a bit of magic about them.

Not many people in today’s world inspire thoughts of magic and wonder. In fact, I only know one, and I stole her from another family. She has passed away since the original writing of this blog post. It’s a tribute to her that I’m republishing it on my new site in her honor.

I’m talking about my Grams. Well, someone else’s Grams actually. I met her in a previous relationship. When that relationship ended I was unable to let her go. I’d grown too attached. She’s been my Grams ever since.
