I posted this before, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately:
“To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore.
It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret.
Letting go isn’t about winning or losing.
It’s not about pride and it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past.
Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness.
It’s not about giving in or giving up.
Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat.
To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on.
It is having an open mind and confidence in the future.
Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing.
To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow.
It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain.
Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.
Letting go is growing up.
It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy.
To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free.”
I've been realizing A LOT of things lately.
things I was blind to
things I needed to finally acknowledge.
I've always believed that things happen for a reason.
I am learning to see the optimism in recent situations
and accepting that this is what is best.
It's what I needed
whether or not it needed to happen the way it did is another thing,
but it happened none the less.
I needed to cut my ties
all of them.
whether temporarily or permanently
it just had to be done.
I'm good at walking away,
I always have been.
maybe that's a flaw,
or maybe it's a blessing
right now, it's a blessing.
I'm setting myself free.
doors are closing but so many more are opening
In the end it comes down to this:
I'm happy with my life,
accepting of what has happened
and content with the choices made.
best of luck to you all.
make yourselves.
