Where art thou Lantern

So you may have seen in a previous post that I want to 

let go a floating lantern into the night sky.

It may just be some weird girly hormone but the following video made my eyes produce tears.

Not many, but a salty liquid was most definitely leaking from my eyes.

Just the idea of letting go.

Any lingering sadness, insecurities, criticisms, grief...

Then just absorbing the beauty of it.

I feel that I need this now.

My life is really jam packed with goodness these days.

However, I still want to make room for more by 

ridding myself of all the negative emotions I carry around.
I want to fill the inside of my lantern with everything bad that has ever happened to me,
every horrible thing that I've convinced myself I deserve
and then let that beautiful golden fucker float far, far, far away.

Oh lantern, when can I let you go?
