I saw this street art on Brick Lane, in east London, a couple of months ago, took a photo and then found it again today. It reminded me of something I’d written in my Thoughts and Observations notebook earlier this year:

You can’t bring something new into your life without letting go of something old.

You can’t bring in the positivity without letting go of the negatives.

You can’t step into the future without saying goodbye to the past.

Thanks for reading The Writer's Walk. Sign up for free to get walking inspiration and writing prompts in each fortnightly edition.
