but the older I get, the more I let go of things
Ahh this line hit home. It's a thing I find myself doing constantly subconsciously. Sometimes the things I let go are more normal and unnecessary in nature, but then again I also let go of people, friends, hobbies and even work projects that I dedicated my time towards, which is a quality that might make some frown. But I think that's just how life flows, at least for me. I see myself as a bee, moving from flower to flower, collecting nectars, or memories in my case, and running back home to make something beautiful out of it.
Sounds like you an air sign like us.
If it doesn't serve you and fire passion, why hold on? I hate the sheep tracks of the mind...well worn and tired. I like to make new paths and grow new things.
A bee is a nice way of putting it.
