‘”Love like you’ll never get hurt, and dance like no one is watching’”
I’m trapped in a prison of self-hatred. [Lifted from chico garcia's the best and the rest entry]. Hating things is a bad idea. While you hate something, you remain invisibly connected to it – so it will tend to hang around. I hate myself for being the person I wasn’t anymore. By giving more of me, I lose myself in the process. Getting angry, or fighting doesn’t even work. What I learned was, to overcome what you don’t like by accepting what is – not resisting – and replacing with something positive. Loving people means giving them the freedom to be who they choose to be and where they choose to be. Love is allowing people to be in your life out of choice. To have something or someone, you let go.
While cleaning my room, I found a book and these lines caught my attention.
Our experience of emotional pain operates along the same lines. If we are hurting emotionally, it is a message that we need to change our approach or see things differently. If we feel hurt, let down or dumped by someone in our life, the message may be, “Love those in your life without expectations. Accept them as they are and take what they want to give without judgement. Altenatively, the message may be, “Don’t let the actions of others destroy your own self-esteem.
It’s up to you how you see things. If it’s half-empty or half-full. Well, I think the moral lesson of all these is, if you want to change the way you feel, better change the way you think. hahaha. Easier said than done. [sigh] How do I avoid being depress when I’m depressed? Now, tell me. hehe.
