love is a verb, love is a doing word;
i realise that we are often stronger than we give ourselves credit for. we think we are weak, and when we think we are weak, we become weak. we are rendered unable to move on from our bad experiences and our sadness, to the point where it becomes who we are. the tipping point is crucial, whether we let ourselves fall or pull ourselves back.
i've not had a lot of difficult times, but recent events have made me realise that when it comes to moving on, the sadness is more often than not a choice. i'm not denying that it is difficult initially, but there comes a point - the tipping point - where you tell yourself once and for all that it's time to let go. and beyond that point, feeling sad is a choice.
it's worked for me. beyond a certain point, when i start to feel sad, i tell myself to stop being stupid. stop focusing on the negative. it's all in the mind. the thing is, i wonder if my version of letting go is not actually that but more of burying the past, and if so, whether this will have bigger repercussions in future that i don't see or feel now.
i realise i am seriously a hardcore ESTP personality. i make decisions based on pro-con lists, and when i feel, i spend a lot of time afterward rationalizing my feelings and deciding on a course of action. though it doesn't always work. hurr.
rest in my arms, sleep in my bed, there's a design to what i did and said
