Letting things go

I had begun my trackways course. We were wandering through some woods; i was following a lady who was leading me into the wild. She was the guide.

I had a very heavy pack on my back and it was slowing me down.
Thomas, She told me, was waiting ahead, and she said that if i wanted to follow on this path, i would have to let go of alot of my stuff that i was carrying, because it was holding me back.

I felt that i didn't want to let go of this stuff because i was very attached to it. Yet i knew that it was what i had to do....
