The beauty of just letting go...

Hey, maybe you should get a matching tattoo! ;-) I hate seeing melancholy posts from you - hope things cheer up! Hang in there....

I'm not really melancholy...I use that phrase for inspiration in many ways, it really helps me to REMEMBER to let go...but ya, I need a matching tattoo, hahaha  ;)

I'm going to get a tat that says, 'The Secret Value of Daydreaming'. Don't know what the heck that means but it seems to fit me.

Oh, I know what I wanted to ask. Without getting too personal, what are you letting go of? stress? your past? Letting go...sounds so simple yet complex.  You do sound melancholy in your posts even if it's not what you intend. 

Ya, it's interesting (and maybe unfortunate) that melancholy moods are what make me want to write, when a lot of my life is wonderful things, but I guess writing is how I get stuff off my chest.  Anyway...to answer your question MEK, the thing I was specifically thinking of when I wrote that posts was a friendship that is draining and negative...I wish I could just let it go...but in general I think of letting go of fears, inhibitions, bad memories, and just all those things that kind of stick in the back of our minds ya know.  Past relationships is actually not one of the things I have a problem letting go of, but that is mostly because I am engaged to a man that makes me happier than any I've ever met!  There, that was definitely not melancholy ;)

Hey baby girl,

I had to put my little 2-cents in, you know? ;-)  For me the beauty of letting things go, has become an art form... I guess you could say, The Art of Letting Things go...  as my girl knows, 4 months ago, someone I thought was a good person, someone I had faith in and made the bad move in trusting and believing, betrayed me and everything I thought was real between us.  I have never experienced a level of betrayal and falsehood as I did then.  But, through the adveristy that life has thrown me in the past, I was able to look at this person and feel sorry for him and his heart.  This is where the Art, or the Beauty, of letting things go came in for me... when you have amazing people in your life that trully respect and value love, such as Mary Ann and my mother, it becomes easier to look at those that will hurt us and actually feel sorry for them.  I won't lie, I experienced tremendous pain, but it came from what I symbolically viewed as the Death of someone I knew.  Because I let go, I was able to discover more wonderful things in this world, the positive side of human nature.  Also, I have found someone that puts this past person to shame with his heart and integrity, and the way he can see into my mind.  He is real to me.  And although I don't know where this new road will take us, had I not found the "Beauty of Letting Go...", I would have never gotten the opportunity to explore this new path.  ..... I love you so much Mary Ann.  The term 'Best Friend' does no justice to what we trully have and share.  And Michelle, you are an incredible woman, you have pleasantly surprised me with your depth and understanding, you're inspiring.  Ok, enough of my blabbing...hehehe

All in all it sounds like you are doing wonderful. I like reading blogs and your writing is almost like poetry sometimes. I wish you all the happiness with your engagement. I don't need to  talk about the  mellon collie and the infinite sadness in all our lives...you seem to have your stuff together and on the road to greatness and happiness. You seem like a happy, cheerful soul. Have fun!

Awww thanks, Dez! That means a lot! *muah*
