close your eyes, count to ten and maybe it'll all go away.

how do you let go of things
that you have been trying and trying to get rid of
but they won't go away
despite all of you efforts to move on and forget?
it's seriously driving me nuts.
i've tried absolutely everything.
i've been praying for it to go away for a really long time.
yeah, absolutely nothing.
still there, almost haunting and/ or taunting me.

I know we haven't talked in a while but I understand what you are saying and it does make sense. Honestly, sometimes things stay in our lives because maybe we aren't suppose to let them go. I think God is faithful and if it was meant to just go away maybe it would have a long time ago. I don't know the situation at all, I really dont but I know that in time if you are suppose to be freed of the situation you will be delivered. when i feel this way I pray for clarity because I know that I need to see things God's way and not just let it go. whenever you box things up in your life and put it in a closet at any moment you can take down that box and all the pain and memories can flood back in your life. from what i've experienced, you have to feel through all the emotions and face the past and everything in order to progress. but you can't allow things to lay heavy on you. you have a right to feel your pain but dont let satan attack who you are today because of your past. i guess when we mistakes it's just a reminder, shit I need God more than I thought I did or I really am a sinner. I know things arent easy and petty but just have hope. and know that in this waiting, time of "useless progress" there is a reason for it. I love you and I know just rambled for about a year, but i just wanted you to know that i get how you feel.

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” - jim morrison
