Let IT GO!!!!

I have a new lease on life. I finally discovered that I was searching for something that I was never going to find. And that was acceptance and validation. Unfortunately it took me 33 years to reach this conclusion. I  wasted 33 years of my life being unhappy and feeling like I would never be complete. I wasted time searching for validation and acceptance as if it could change the past and everything I have been through. I don't need any of that. I realized that I HAVE everything I need from the people that matters TODAY. I have acceptance, validation, and unconditional love from the people that matter in my life. I don't need to seek that out from people who don't contribute to my life in any way. The past is the past and I am finally ready to leave it all behind. This new revelation came across me like a breath of fresh air. Like I opened my eyes for the first time in my life. Like I unloaded a ton of baggage off my back and I  finally...FINALLY feel free. Let the toxicity out of your life because it's not worth your own happiness and mental health. Leave the past in the past...and realize that you can't make someone love or care about you. You don't need someone else to validate your feelings about YOU. Leave that negativity and toxicity in the past no matter who or what it is. Remember...if they don't contribute to your life in any way then they shouldn't influence your life or feelings in any way. Stop being there for people who refuse to show up for you. Life is too short and you deserve to be happy. Let that shit go. LET IT GO!!!!
