I am not what I once was. I know that I need to release the
past. The pain of my childhood prejudices, family complications,
my marital dysfunction, and the thousands upon thousands of my own disappointments,
failures and the little lies I tell myself. I have been looking to release
events, people, and memories of my past. I am not saying that they do not need
to be let go of, there is no doubt in my mind that hanging on to them would be
horribly damaging…….but I need to let go of parts of me. Embrace the idea that I have changed, I am
not who I once was.
Who and what I am now is not what I used to be. For me to go
on and face the life ahead of me, as the person I “was”, is a sure recipe for
my own miserable demise. I am not who I
was in the past, I do not need to know how this turns out I just know I have to
change. I have to let go of what I embodied in the past, those parts of me can
no longer exist!
