Artwork title : Should I Let Go?

This piece doesn’t really have a meaning to learn with this digital painting, it's more of a decision, with so little time. The hand is hanging on to a rope, connected to the yellow gold light, or the beauty and happiness of life. Where now I am at the edge of the rope, entering the darkness. However, people say to reach at your highest point in life, you must go through the worst, to then get to the best. However, I'm not sure if that is true, because I'm just entering the dark side, leaving my childhood ‘innocence;’ or the light and switching to my older-teen life, where you learn the world is not just sunshine and rainbows. The hand, or me, decides whether I should be content, trusting what other people say, letting go of the rope, to ‘grow,’ or, should I hang on for as long as I can? I feel like I'm betraying my chinese fast food fortunes I got as a young child, telling me to not be jealous of my life now rather than later, and to make me rise even after the fun, exciting past. I also don’t want to just say goodbye to my innocent, stress free younger past, watching me ascend from above. I’m ‘just a kid’ overall, yet I don’t feel like one. So, should I let go?
