Midnight rantings: Expectations and pedestals
Some things happen in life
Some of which we would not choose
if we had a choice
and some of those things mark us
And leave us with scars
Scars that are not necessarily physical
But sometimes are
Scars which are mostly in our hearts
And give us secret and sometimes open grief
Scars that make us hold back
…hold back from loving ourselves wholly
And others too
…… hold us back from giving our all
…. hold us back from taking risks
…. hold us back from doing
and just keep us in the “coulda, woulda, shoulda” class
For some people it holds them back and defines their lives for so long
Until you decide, or sometimes life shines a torch on that scar
Well, I have such scars
And without any doubt, I know everyone has theirs too
Well, here is what I think (I stand to be corrected though)
Choose (and ask God, in prayer, if you believe in God)
to LET GO OF THE SCARS
The anger, hurt and pain: let it go
Those who have offended and deceived and wronged you: forgive them
Those things you should have known better about: forgive yourself
Those deep hurtful secrets: let them go
The issues you cannot comprehend: let those go too
Letting go, is hard, very hard
But it needs to be done
Because you will feel much better
And free, when you let go
Bottomline: Choose to let go
You will be doing yourself a massive favour
Plus, if you want to be trully happy, and joyful
YOU NEED TO LET GO
I hope this helps
Lots of Love,
M.
