Letting Go

Past hurts and pains are inevitable. It will always exist in people’s lives. These are experiences that help people become who they are and who they will still become.

Hurts and pains… it can kill, it can choke you to death, paralyze your entire life. You become damaged, fearing some things, playing it safe; and because you’re afraid, you let the good things pass you by. You certainly are not getting or doing any better in the game of life by doing so.

It is a matter of choice, should you hold on to it and let it eat you; or let go, set yourself free from its bondage. I used to fear letting my hurts and pains go. I keep holding on, thinking that if I do otherwise, then I wouldn’t be the same; that I would change into someone else. In fact I am not the same anymore, I’m a better me. I’m still what my past experiences made me, just with better perspective in life, more mature and more open to new things that come my way. Because I chose to be free from the dark side of me. I chose the best option- the one that would help me feel better about myself and see life differently, positively. …It is a choice.
