Let it go...

You thought I was just going to put Frozen lyrics here didn't you...?  Silly!

Letting shit go... one of the hardest things to do right there.  Even after you have already forgiven someone, do you ever really forget why you were mad?  It's not easy to.

But once you start forgiving its a great feeling.  I have held a lot of grudges in my day and holding onto anger never did me any good.  It really just held me back.  I am no expert by any means but it is something I am working on.

I have a lot of anger still towards a lot of people in my life, but I am working on weeding it out and letting it go.  I feel like I am holding on to the bigger stuff now.  I can let the little shit go.  I forgive the girl I thought was my friend for giving me the friendship boot when I needed a friend the most.  I forgive the person who brought me down so much that it almost broke me.  I forgive the teenage girl who totaled my favorite vehicle ever.  I can forgive the people who felt they had nothing better to do with their time but spread lies about me. I can let this stuff go.

Its hard to forgive my sister for not being there for 5 years.  Its hard to forgive my aunt for backstabbing my dad.  Its hard to let the life changing stuff go.  Maybe because forgiveness has to happen on both ends in those situations.  I will let go soon.  Hopefully it would speed up the rest of the process.

So every week I am going to focus on something to let go of and work on getting rid of that negative energy that is taking up my life.

This week I will forgive a person for the things they said about me.  What will you let go of?
