Over the past year, I have been at my lowest and at my highest. I am so thankful for the good that has happened in my life over the past year and I know that I would not have made it through the bad times without them.
Sometimes we all tend to think back and get a little too caught up in the bad...
We think about the sickness that we or our loved ones had encountered. We think about death and the ones we miss most of all. We think about the people who hurt us and all the other negative things that kept us down.
We think of these things and completely forget about the good that was and still is in our lives.
There's a quote that I came across on Pinterest that reads, "Whatever comes, let it come. Whatever stays, let it stay. Whatever goes, let it go."
For me, I think I came across this quote at the perfect time, because recently these past events that had constantly brought me down were beginning to slowly creep back into my mind and begin to mask all of the good in my life.
Which makes this quote so relevant to my life, it's scary.
"Whatever comes, let it come." This can relate to anything from new friends and adventures. Entering college everything seems to be changing. You get new friends, a new campus, new professors, and new experiences. Open your mind to new ideas and let things come to you, doing this not only opens the door to so many great experiences but allows you to slowly let go of some of the past you may not want to hold onto anymore.
"Whatever stays, let it stay." Things have come into my life, the things I had mentioned before, and so much more. Letting these positive ideas and people stay in my life has filled me with so much joy, I do not always know what to do with myself. This part can be sometimes hard to accomplish because of how hard it is to open up and let people or things stay in your life when you are so used to the old, even if the old wasn't very good.
"Whatever goes, let it go." This part of the quote, although the most necessary, is the hardest thing to do. I look back at the events in my past that made me so angry and sorrowful and still get just as angry and upset about it now as I did then. That does not need to happen. I need to learn that these things are in the past and that they don't matter anymore. I need to remember all the things in my life that are so joyful and precious. I need to let go.
This quote is now one of my favorites and should be one that we all take into consideration more often. The last saying constantly sticks out to me and my constant healing heart. I feel like it's just nudging me and trying to make it clear that I need to dispose of all the negative energy in my life that simply doesn't matter anymore.
I need to focus on the good, and let go of the bad.
We all need to focus on the good, and let go of the bad.
