The Art of Letting Go!!!!

August came with a lot of mixed emotions..I knew I was gonna have to be strong but I didn't know how or where to start.At some point I felt like a part of me was stolen, gone,never to come back again. I went into survival mode, trying to adjust,thinking of a way out...my mind felt so cluttered and all I needed was a fresh breeze I just couldn't seem to find or get. Often at times, we think that objects define who we are and I love my bags and my shoes,and somehow I think these items defined who I was and I just couldn't imagine my life without them. I wanted a change, so I figured that in order to get this change I would have to change a few things in my life. I decided to give away all my designer handbags, all twenty of them. I left myself with one that I would carry to work everyday, my white vintage Louis Vuitton. This wasn't an easy decision, I weeped before finally deciding to give them all to charity. At this point, I felt lost but I kept going and then two weeks later I got the most amazing gift, it was everything I had ever hoped for. There were a lot of issues that were bothering me, and most of these issues were not even from my part but from people i cared about. I have learnt that some people feel intimidated by me and therefore they create other personalities and pretend to be someone they are not.For example, I have a friend who lied about who she is and where she comes from...till this day I never asked her why she lied, still waiting for her to come clean.I have also learnt that other people are only in our lives because they want to use us for what we have. For example, I have a friend who always only calls or texts when she wants something,as soon as she gets what she wants she disappears until another need arises. I have decided to cut her out of my life completely. What I am trying to say is that life is short and I'm making the most of it, I'm gonna smile everyday and only be with people who see my true value. I'm surrounding myself with people who inspire me to do more and be the best in my craft. I'm glad for all my blessings and love the fact that Spring has sprung, I'm ready for all the opportunities and challenges that are coming my way!!!!!
