Re invention and your life...
Posted on December 25, 2011
sometimes I think....... that It is so unusual when the people who have been around you the longest, and who think they know you the best, actually allow you to evolve, it almost never happens, especially if it's in a way that they can't imagine in their own heads, and so one of the big ironies of life is that, if you make a decision at some point to make what appears to be a drastic change, when you need your people the most, you won't be able to step forward unless you let these people go. You have to leave them. Because they are baggage that will never release who you WERE, and not allow for who your ARE, and so you need to find the courage to release them. They don't believe in you. And check it out... They always come back, and so, you should FORGIVE THEM, they could never do or comprehend what you just did, you scared the fuck out of them. And sadly, you'll never feel close to them again, because now you KNOW, you are clear, the truth is, they NEVER took the time to know you, but still, be human, keep moving, stay honest with yourself, don't ever allow ANYONE to limit you, but FORGIVE THEM. It's the most magnificent thing you could ever do. But be careful, make sure you're ready, that it's the right time, that you don't find yourself going backwards, that you are strong enough to keep your SELF, that you don't give it all back. You'll regret it, so before revisiting, make sure you have truly arrived. If you have, then go get to know them again. And maybe this time they'll take the time to get to know you.
