You don’t have to keep remembering all that stuff that happened. You are allowed to let it go.
Make a list. Write enough words to get those things out of your soul. Freely express anything and everything that feels like it ties you to the past. Perhaps they were bad choices, circumstances, results, influences… Even if you know logically that they cannot be changed, they keep you anchored to the life behind all your yesterdays.
See them now on the paper. Big words that scream anger and frustration. Little letters that mutate untold secrets. Phrases which time has engraved deep down inside. Let them all fall on the page. There is no order or expectation. Just let them flow out from their hiding spots.
Every item is simply a part of your past. There is no changing what has been done before.
BUT what can be done right now is a full release.
Look at those words. You have felt them long enough. You have remembered them long enough. You have let them control you long enough.
So, light it up. Safely… watch it all burn away.
All those things brought you to this day. That is all that needs to be known. No explanations. No excuses. Just know that you are allowed to let them go.
You are allowed to turn in a different direction. Use whatever you have today to take a new step forward. Even if you have very little in terms of courage, hope or strength… it is just enough of everything you need to make the next choice happen.
One tiny thing that is right for you. It is pure. It is absolutely doable with what you have. And you are perfectly capable to do it too.
There is no if.
There is only dignity. It comes from inside. It is gentle. It knows who you truly can be. It feels like unconditional respect and kindness and patience that envelops your very soul.
No shouting required. No fancy cheers to be chanted. No obligations to anyone else.
What will you choose?
That sensation you feel is curiosity. There is, and always will be, a quiet desire to do the things which feel like they should be done. They answer the call of who you can be when you choose to fulfil your dreams.
The past is gone. Let it forever rest in peace.
Use your inner thoughts and desires to create your future. Reach deep and let curiosity be your guide.
Confidence comes when you control your choices. Push your passions and breathe into your unique brilliance.
Being you is enough to make this day matter.
The next choice is all you need to do.
