Inner strength
After nights like last night, I have to reiterate how lucky I am. Hearing about other people's hard times, my life sounds like a story book ending in comparison. Everyone has their hardships, everyone's hardships are different, but in the grand scheme of things I have it so good, so easy. Nights when the booze is flowing and people pasts can't remain locked away anymore and that dam breaks down....afterwards I always feel that sense of gratitude, I'm so grateful for how much joy I have in my life.
I also feel grateful for having matured so much, so well, so that I am not overwhelmed by negativity anymore. I am genuinely a happier person because I've learned to let go. To let go of guilt, of anger, of shame and of jealousy. I am more patient now, more confident, and more relaxed. I've retained the things I love, the people I love, that's not what I mean when I say let go....I've learned to let go of all the negativity. it's no longer stifling, it is fuel to my passions, it is a source of energy, drive, rather than an obstacle to them.
This all might not make sense, it is super early in the am, but I just wanted to say, accept the bad, process it, and release it to make way for the good. Count your blessings. They may not be as memorable as your losses, but they are the key to living a balanced life.
