Letting Go to Move Forward.

Life is too short to hold on to anger.

This past year has been a never-ending rollercoaster for me. It has had more twists and turns and highs and lows and dead ends that I have ever gone through in my life. I have shed more tears, gained more weight, grown more gray hair, and had higher blood pressure than I have ever experienced.

This past year also seemed to be the point in my life where I had to go through so much so I could move forward. I had been stuck in the same type of situations for so long, it was as if everything came to a head at the same time and I had no choice but to wake up and figure shit out so I could get on with my life. That goes for friends, relationships, jobs, school, and my own personal thoughts of myself.

Finally, I feel as if I’ve come out of the tunnel and I am basking in the sunlight. I am over the hurt of losing and letting go of friendships. I am over the anger of feeling used or betrayed or unloved by men in relationships. I am over feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I have let go of the negative energy and the people who brought the negative energy into my life and all I am seeking now is peace in my spirit and love in my life.

I haven’t taken a blood pressure pill in about three weeks. That alone excites me when a few months ago, I was taking almost two a day when I was overly stressed or depressed.  There were so many times when I thought I would never feel better; when I thought I would never be happy again or when I thought the tears would never cease. I know we have all been there at one time or another. We have all had times in our lives where we couldn’t see the end of the rainbow, but I am here to tell you, it’s there! And it’s more beautiful than you could ever imagine. A few people told me a while ago that I was afraid of movement. I was afraid of the Unknown and that if I didn’t get over it, I would never be happy. I see now. And I am so thankful for those people and for those friends who stood by my side, who didn’t complain when I cried, who lifted me up when I felt like giving up and who loved me through it all.

Don’t allow anger to get the best of you. Don’t allow people to get the best of you. Don’t allow your own inner demons to get the best of you. You cannot control anyone else but yourself. Separate yourself from the people who bring you down, who steal your energy, who disrespect you, who treat you poorly, who don’t love you. Gather around you the ones who love you, who support you and who treat you the way you treat them. Because in the end, you can only expect to get what you give out.

I’m doing the work to create a better life for myself. Now that I have seen a little glimpse of it, I don’t want anything else but better. I don’t want anything else but happiness. I don’t want anything else, but love.

Let go of the negative and create your life. Because the longer you hold on to pain and anger and hurt, the longer your life will pass you by. You deserve it.
