Learning to Let Go

I have been looking deeply into my life and the way I have been living, and this is a writing to describe what I have been learning:

We need to stop seeing ourselves as victims, of our perceived environment.

People hurt us because they cannot allow love and compassion into their own hearts, they don't understand how to fully love themselves.

We then internalize these encounters- neglect, pain, sexual abuse, addiction- then we define ourselves by other people's projected insecurity.

We are unworthy,

unlovable,

worthless.

But none of these things are true.

We have been caught in the crossfire-

of the lifetime fights with their own demons

They fell victim to their abuse, too.

We need to be willing to call ourselves:

worthy, lovable,

valuable,

irreplaceable.

Once we let go of the blame, the shame, the pain-

then we can finally allow for healing.

Healing

Healing will be a painful, dark, beautiful, inspiring

journey.

Healing requires you to allow your wounded child, who carries all of your fears, insecurities and anger- that has kept you safe for so many years... to feel.

The intense feelings will shine light on your deepest secrets-

your greatest fears,

It will help you finally realize,

It was never your fault, never your battle to fight.

You can let go

We are constantly changing beings

Life is momentary- we only have now.

Your pain does not define you,

Your past does not define you,

Your family does not define you

Your light, and the way you choose to spread that light, defines you.

With every passing smile, every dream you are working to achieve, every minute that you take to listen to a hurting soul.

Heal yourself: for yourself

So you may fulfill your purpose in this world:

to make it a brighter place

Love with all of your being,

and never apologize for your compassion.
