be brave and surrender

I need to practice surrendering to the moment and stop trying to control things.

Relinquishing control is liberating. You don't have to, nor should you have to, nor should you ever be someone's caretaker.

You are not responsible for managing someone else's fears. In fact, by protecting them, you damn them from healing; you are doing them a disservice.

This is something I've never truly considered doing before: surrendering and just letting things be.

I want to lay my cards on the table and accept whatever comes.

I want to be true to myself, but also trust others.

I want to enjoy life for what it is.

I want to accept that some things happen on their own time.

I want the people I love to be free. Isn't love sweet when it's not strained, pressured, or forced?

Lost love hurts like a bitch, that's for sure, but I can handle difficult emotions. I can support myself.

Opening my heart takes courage, and I will always choose love over fear.

Be brave, be kind, be strong.
