Journey to Lovely
I made a decision the other day.
And when I make decisions, I stand resolute in them.
Which may be the reasons I haven't made many.
I made the decision to move on with my life. I realized I had been living in my memories, wanting to live in my past.
All the while ruining my present.
I had been hurting the people I haverightnow. My family, friends, and myself. I realized that if I continued down this path......I would soon yearn for my present.
So I made the decision to stop.
Just stop.
I want to smile.
I want to be happy and not feel guilty.
I want to smile and not hide it.
I want to enjoy the good times and learn from the bad.
I just want to befree.
Free without feeling guilt.
I decided to stop trying analyze the pieces.
And just leave them.
Just go.
As difficult and tearful a parting it is.
It's worth it.
So this is my journey to letting go of the past.
Embracing the future.
To becoming lovely.
