Memories of the Past
Love and Hate
You grew up in a world that was surrounded by confusion.
So many things seemed to be simple.
So many things seemed to be unobtainable.
You grew to think you understood love.
You grew to feel all too familiar with hate.
A mixed bag of things…
Hate vegetables, love video games.
Parents argued, hate your dad.
Love books, hate school.
So easy.
It’s all so normal.
Though, you felt lost and unsure, never really fitting in.
Seemed like life could be pretty easy, once you grew up to be over 18.
Yet, it didn’t get much better, more rules, less freedom.
You thought it might be different.
Thought it could be easier.
You wanted to grow up and be free, yet now you see it isn’t quite so easy.
What happened to all your dreams?
What happened to all those fancy things?
Didn’t you dream about becoming rich?
Didn’t you think it would be like the flip of a switch?
Wake up and you’re an adult, now the world will be yours to take…
Love and hate.
It’s a real battle.
Freedom and fate…
It’s like eating cake.
You don’t really know, until you grow up and find out…
That cake will now make you gain weight.
Now you also have to pay for that cake.
Then you have to run a mile, or two, to burn off that cake.
Being an adult, it’s not quite so easy, you see.
You thought you understood it all.
You thought you could live easily.
You thought life would be so simple.
Now you have to eat your vegetables and video games are a thing of the past.
Love and hate.
Now you know love is better, and hate is a waste of energy.
Being kind is a better use of your time, but it’s also overwhelming…
Being kind can make you seem weak.
Now you have to learn boundaries.
What even are boundaries and why are they a thing…
Let’s not even get into the complicated world of dating.
Men and women.
Men or women.
You really don’t even need any of that anymore.
It is really not an area you would enjoy to explore.
Time is ticking, and skin is wrinkling.
One day maybe there will be time to just exist.
No worries.
No fears.
No bills.
Not even a doctor promised happy pill.
Just a long moment to remember the freedom of being a child, without a worry about love or hate or anything other than… oh wait…
Let’s take a step back – it is not about love and hate.
It’s just about you.
You must accept your fate.
Dream big.
Find time to play.
Balance it all out.
Try not to stay up too late.
Life is what you make it.
Create it.

Stop Allowing What is Not Right for You
Learning to Let Go
We have come to a place of understanding that who we are and where we are matters. Although, sometimes we can think that what we have and who we have around us is necessary to hold onto.
We hold onto expectations for ourselves.
We hold onto expectations for others.
We hold onto hopes that we have for ourselves, and we tend expect that these things are going to make us feel better.
This is not the case. How we feel inside is what matters. Letting go of what is on the outside and letting go of attachments to all of these THINGS is what he’s going to bring us peace.
How often have you felt as though moving, having more money, having a relationship or physical things will make you feel better?
Your relationship with yourself, your love for yourself, your acceptance of yourself, your perception of yourself, and your ability to care for yourself and your inner world is more important than anything else.
When we learn to let go of what we think that we need and what we think will bring us happiness, we can allow what is really right for us to be known.
Let go of your attachments to people.
Let go of your attachments to physical things.
Let go of your need to be numb.
Let go of your need to look a certain way.
The only thing that will bring you true peace is to learn to love and accept yourself.
You matter.
Your need to constantly be distracted will bring you more and more dissatisfaction.
You are capable of doing so much more than you know.
You are capable of being at peace with less.
You are capable of feeling at peace on your own.
Let go.
Be free.
You are safe.
You are loved.
Allow it.
Accept it.
Feel it.
You are free.
Let it be.
