You can always come back to it.

​You can always come back to the things you once loved. Always. They have not gone. They are still there. No shame is welcome here. You are allowed to let go. You are allowed to pick up your paintbrush, pen, dancing shoes, golf club, riding boots again. Maybe they can teach you something new. Maybe you will find something you need. Maybe you will feel the joy you did all those years ago. You’re allowed to want that feeling again. You don’t need to feel shame for how long it has been. Just follow your hearts tug. Maybe it will lead you all the way back to your first loves. Maybe it will tell you to let go.
