LETTING GO!!!!
To let go doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it for some one else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it's the realization that I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is not to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another, I can only change myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all th oucomes, but to allow others effect thier own outcomes.
To let go is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them.
To let go is not to criticize and regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and to cherish the moment.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more.

(This was given to my mom after my dad died but I think it can be used for every day situations: not the loss of a person.)

There are days that we all feel like giving up and it's not worth living any more. Either b/c we lost our one and only "love", or some one that we are close to dies, or we get in a fight with a friend and we think it's over, or things at home just aren't going all that great. We all go through hard times. Rather or not they seem as bad as others, it's still hard for us. Right now my life isn't going all that great. Better than some but worse than others. But I try to hide everything. Hide it behind a smile, a laugh. Most of the time when I juss start laughen at a random time it's either to keep from cryen or sayen something that I'll regret. Or I'll juss start singing a song to get my mind off of what ever is bothering me. That's what helps me. So if you ever feel like cryen, or hitten something, or yelling, juss laugh or sing. It will help take everything off of your mind at that moment and it will help you calm down.

Sorry this is long but I just felt like I had to put that stuff on here for ppl to see. But I'm going now....
