Post 25: steps

January 24, 2024

The biggest step you will ever take for your future self is the one away from your past…God has been waiting for you, you need to get out of baggage claim.

This is a snippet of a quote I heard for the first time today, and I think it’s important to document.

Today I struggled BIG with letting go of the past. I tried praying, napping, running, screaming, talking with people I love, and although I feel better, that overarching peace and serenity that comes from true surrender is lacking. Sigh.

I think it can be extremely difficult to forgive someone, or move forward from a situation, when there is a physical reminder or ailment from said person or situation. It’s just a constant, nagging reminder of their previous presence in your life. It stands as a reminder of regret, your idiocy of trusting them, the pain you went through and still go through, and so much more.
