For so long, I didn’t understand why everything in my life just felt..so heavy.
Things just always seemed so hard, uneasy and complicated..
The good feelings and happy moments just didn’t show up all that often-
Or at least, not as much I wanted.
I thought it was just something about me that made me feel that way…until I realized it wasn’t me at all.
I had never given much thought to the parts of my life that were dragging me down.
I was always my hardest critic because I pushed myself to be my best, regardless of how hard life was.
So, instead of looking around me at all the people, places and things that made me feel bad..
I turned my focus inward.
No matter what I did, I couldn’t shake the layer of unhappiness that surrounded me..
Until someone close to me turned and walked away.
I thought I would be sad and upset when they chose to leave my life…
But I wasn’t.
I was relieved that their negativity was gone.
That’s when it finally dawned on me:
I had to let go of the toxic people, the bad situations and things that weighed on me if I wanted to truly be free.
All my life, I had blamed myself for all the things that went wrong and ended badly..
So, I closed my eyes and made a choice.
I wanted to be happy, grow as a person and release all the guilt, remorse and frustration that I had carried with me for so long.
I didn’t know exactly where my path would lead, I just knew I couldn’t keep going the way I was headed.
One by one, I let go of the people who didn’t respect, love or treat me the way I deserve.
Slowly, I started to feel lighter, happier and more at peace with my life.
Everything that brought me down..I walked away from and I couldn’t be more thankful for the joy I found from setting myself free.
Even the people and places I loved but were not good for me..I realized that my happiness was more important, so I set them free.
In the end, I started walking in a different direction, but gained a new perspective.
Maybe I did lose a lot of people when I chose to surround myself with good vibes..
But more than that, I found a beautiful world just waiting for me to discover.
Starting with the me that I had been missing for far too long.
From now, I’m surrounding myself with the people that feel like sunshine..
And I’ll always try to be the one shining brightest of all.
