Life has ups and downs. How you handle those ebbs and flows usually indicates how happy and resilient you are in life. For me, I choose to learn the lessons along the way and be a better version of myself. Sometimes those lessons are hard fought. The keys are gratitude and letting go.
I read something recently about letting go. “Letting go. It simultaneously heals you and kills you.” There is truth in that. I’d add that letting go brings peace. If it doesn’t bring peace, maybe you haven’t learned the right lesson.
I’ve learned a lot about myself in the last year. I’ve grown and changed for the better. My energy and my vibe are so important to me. I preserve them at all costs. Gratitude plays into this. I’m grateful for so much in my life – especially my best friends and my new relationship.
I look back with gratitude. I know I gave my all and loved fully – I can’t regret that one bit. That’s how I love – all in without condition. I wish my prior partners – the one last year and one from 8 years before – only the best. They taught me more about the me I want to be now. I wouldn’t be here without what I learned from those people and relationships.
I hereby let go of my past. I am now moving forward with excitement, hope, adventure and love.
