Guess what? I am going to be ok.
Big changes are happening in my life. It's sad, frightening, weird, and heartbreaking. But, I'm surprisingly strong and can handle anything. This year has so far taken me on the proverbial rollercoaster and I've learned more about myself and how I have been (mis)interpreting happenings around me. I'm no longer blaming myself, and not blaming others anymore either. It's liberating and empowering. I'm learning to embrace every day and accept the positive outcomes as blessings and the negative as learning opportunities. I'm feeling every feeling to its fullest and recognising that I create my own happiness and choose to allow what to let into my life. The flip side of this is that I also need to learn to let go of that which weakens me or brings me down. So, ok, I have to work on that a little. But it's coming along.
By releasing expectations (my expectations of myself as well as my expectations of others) I have decreased the pressure that I put on myself and others. And I've got to say, it's pretty cool.
I am going to be ok. I hope you are too.
