the baggage

my dear readers, 

do you watch 'how i met your mother'? it's probably the only series i can watch after friends that gives me so many great feelings. but apart from smiles and jokes, it has so many wise thoughts in it. sharing with you one, which i have drafted some time ago and never published.

it's about baggage in life and the realization that none of us comes without baggage. all the years we live leave some traces in our character, in our behavior and in our feelings. the problem is that not everyone can accept us with all our suitcases. and it needs big courage to open up to a new person without fear and it is even harder to accept the luggage of that other person entering your life. but once the baggage is shared, it becomes so much easier. just like ted said:

And just like that kids my baggage didn’t seem quite so heavy anymore. You see everyone’s got some baggage. It’s part of life. But like anything else, it’s easier when someone gives you a hand in that.
