how do you let go
- Thread starter Mr. Goodbar
- Start date
Nah, no father or father figure, my mother was just their, didn't want to be a parent, took a lot of her frustrations out on us, blamed us for a lot of her problems. Moved around a lot, realized people come and go at a young age and that's stuck with me, tip of the iceberg
Gotta let it go otherwise it will eat you up. Quit living in the past and explore the future. Might want to talk to a preacher to get help getting things into perspective. Life is too short to live in the past. Work at it and things will get much better!! Been there done that.
Hopefully you will learn before us old farts have..Life is to short to live in the past, more so to learn from the future. You have and will always, get a kick in the Ars on life, and the choices you make...With maturity you hopefully learn not to make the same mistakes again..What sucks is that you will make new ones, that's life. Live it, love it, and learn from it. I am at a point in life that I look back, and so wish I could turn the clock of time back, and change what has been...You have the wonderful opportunity not to regret your decisions now...Think, use common sense, take the time to think things through..Weigh your choices and choose wisely..You will be a much better man for taking the time to smell the roses...Carry On..
The one thing that has always helped me is knowing I tried to do the right things. If I have to move on with a guilty conscience, it makes things much more difficult. Having sympathy or being good hearted only goes so far. If I'm being taken advantage of, I will eventually wake up and say enough. Know the difference and keep moving with your head held high. If you know you tried to do the right things, then the problem lies with whatever or whoever you leave behind. Let them live to learn what they had and regret it. Easier said than done? Sure, but it happens all the time and it would be much worse if you had to live with mass amounts of guilt. I've done it more than once. I feel for you and understand completely.
I just want the family I never had yet I keep getting in these **** up relationships. I'm looking for something I can't find
Personally I'm building quite an "Ignore" list here . . . not that I can't handle conflicting ideas but there is already so much negativity in real life, why do I want it here too?? Really though, I don't think any of us have that "perfect life", sometimes you just gotta do the best you can with what you've got . . . < I know, very generalized, non-specific, completely helpless advice . . .
Practice looking forward, instead of looking back. Practice gratitude. Download some Zig Ziglar & put him on repeat.
