James Elroy Flecker, from “To A Poet A Thousand Years Hence,” written c. October 1910
life is for taking therapeutic walks and being in your own bubble and reading books in bed and drinking iced beverages and eating fruit and gaining new experiences and dozing in sunlight and finding love in everything and not letting guilt consume your life actually
A TIP WHEN PERSISTING:
persist because it makes you feel good, persist because once you start persisting you start to feel so much better. persist because you’re finally stepping into the person who has it all, persist because everything is a bliss for you.
change your perspective; you are not persisting to get your desire (u already have it) you’re persisting because you’re finally stepping into your inner true self.
How to let go of the past:
1. Accept that you are currently in this present moment and going backwards will not stop the time from going forward.
2. Accept that you can not go in the past and replay the moments differently. Everything happened the way it did and there is nothing you can do to change that.
3. Adopt the mantra that whatever is meant for you will be for you.
4. Ask God to grant you the wisdom to accept the things you can not change and change the things you can control.
5. Letting go means forgiving others for the role they played in hurting you.. but also forgiving yourself for the role you played in hurting them.
Have compassion for yourself. Letting go of the past means letting go of who you once were. Letting go can feel like death. It takes time to process and mourn.
