We meet different people through out our life to teach us something and to reveal a different layer of ourselves. It just sucks when you meet that person you connect with so much, but later realize that you’re not meant to be in each others lives forever. Whether that is your freshman roommate, the guy who you will always have a crush on, or your high school best friend, these people come into our life for a reason. And in these moments, when we are learning about ourselves and struggling with the fact that everyone does leave, we must release.
So take it in. Take the pain, the love, the hurt and give it up. Give it up so it’s not weighing you down and tearing you apart. It’s hard and I’m still learning to do this, but we have to release in order to grow. So release the things you think you want, or need, or desire and say “no, I want to do better.” Start living for now. This moment is all you have, so take it in and give it up.
Shitty people are going to come into your life all the time and shitty situations will happen, but it’s how we handle these moments and ourselves that truly define our lives. So tell the boy that pushed you aside goodbye, the girl that constantly makes you feel horrible about yourself see ya, and the embarrassing situations that come back to haunt you time and time again that you’re done with it.
In my twenty years of life I’ve had my share of negative people and events that I have learned to give up because they were weighing me down. I’ve said goodbye to people that were my best friends and people that I thought would be in my life forever because they’re negativity ended up controlling my life. I’m so thankful for these people and situations because I’ve learned so much about my life and I’m finally free to grow into something so much more empowering. I’m finally free to focus and live for me, not for other people. So I’m thankful for the crap because it gave me a new perspective, a new journey, a new outlook.
