  Let them go find something that resonates with them. Let them continue on their journey in their way… you just stay in the joy of yours and wish them well. Let go of all the trying. Sometimes, in trying to be a person that resolves conflict, you end up trying to solve problems that shouldn’t even be yours to solve in the first place. When you stop trying so hard on relationships that don’t work simply because they're not meant to, they flow away as they were always meant to and the conflict is resolved. Stop trying and everything will fall into place. Trying to make them understand. Trying to make him love you. Trying to keep it together. None of this is supposed to take that much energy and effort.  Let them float. Let them flow. You don’t have to stop and solve all the problems. It’s great to be a problem solver. But sometimes, you keep yourself stuck tangled up in somebody else’s issues, when if you would just float on instead, you could solve your own problems much more ...

  It’s reaping season! All the seeds you’ve sown, it is now time to harvest. Harvest season–are you ready? For some, that actually won’t be a good thing. For them, wish them well. For them, forgive them, as it is not your place to give them what they have sowed. Just as you will receive your harvest, so too will they.  I hope that the next time you witness another person attempting to sow weeds in your garden, that you simply turn the other cheek. Simply remember that the seeds we sow ultimately only affect our own harvest. Ignore the weeds they plant and they will find another garden to try to disturb.

  This is my world, right? I get to decide how this goes for me.  I can choose a world that’s good to me, that loves me back. A world that is on my side.  A world that doesn’t hurt me. A world that isn’t against me. I can choose that.  “I haven’t met the new me yet.”  I don’t want to think the world is against me anymore. I get that a lot of my beliefs come from a little girl that was just trying to protect herself, but when do I finally accept that I’m safe? I want to let my walls down. Fearlessly.  Stop looking for things to be wrong. Start appreciating all that is good.  I deserve for things to be this good. I deserve a life I love.  I’m done with questioning that. I deserve this. I earned this. I choose to see a world that wants me to do well. I choose to believe that I am blessed–even if not everything looks that way at the moment. I am choosing the positive. I am choosing a better world for me.
