Thanksgiving

Nov 25, 2010 11:01

I have been undergoing a lot of self reflection over the past several months, and while progress has been slow, there has still been definite improvement.

I am taking today as an opportunity to contact a few of those who I care about, but am no longer close to. I am not trying to contact them in order to fix unmendable relationships. Instead, I simply want to thank them for giving me this opportunity to force myself to become a better person.

While these people may be gone, and while I may never speak to them again, and while they will always be a major part of who I am, I need to keep reminding myself that they are but a few people who were in my life. They are a tiny number compared to all the other people I care about, or will care about in my life.

As the days go on, there will be more people like these, I'm sure. But I'm thankful for this opportunity to better prepare myself how to treat them.

Once again, I am going to attempt to start fresh. These people are in my past. They may once again be in my future, but they are not in my present. I'm not turning my back on them as they did to me, but instead I am simply walking away.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to grow. I'm sorry I have tried to tangle you up in my insecurities.

I'm thankful you were in my life, and were able to contribute to making me a better person.
