We all carry something with us. Of course, its nice if we tavel with someone who can help lighten the load. But usually its easy to just drop what we've been carrying, so we can get home that much sooner. Assuming of course, there will be someone there to greet us when we arrive.

Why do we clutch at this baggage even when we're desperate to move on?

Because we all know there is a chance that we might let go too soon...
