I’ve been cleaning out my closet and it has been very cleansing. Made me reflect on the past, part with it, and be accepting and excited for my present and future. 2 days ago

I think this is my issue when I can’t get something done, I obsess over it by not addressing it directly. I need to learn to address my issues directly and not let them simmer in the back of my mind, thinking that it will solve itself with time. When in actuality I have no actual plan. 5 months ago

I think the amount of things I’ve given up on doing is a testament to my progress in this goal. 8 months ago

Image Caption: How do I practice conveying this feeling in words?

I finally let go of someone I thought would change but didn’t. I think I was being very cautious around him, which in a way made our relationship end up like that – cautious and wary. It’s actually kind of sad. I was sad when we finally cut ties – I bawled and cried for all of the times that I spent with him. The times that I spent trusting him. And I guess he trusted me too to an extent. But I guess we just didn’t match.

Although I was really rude to him – and he probably won’t read all of those texts I sent his way – I’m so glad that I was able to let go for once. Like this dam of feelings just broke free. I need to be able to do this more frequently and not in one huge break of emotion. How do I practice this??

Can anyone help me? How do I practice expressing my emotions freely without fear of judgement? How do I think less and react more? 8 months ago

This was about a past relationship, an ex that easily “gets in my head” even if he has no idea. We lives 3 hours apart, I don’t see him, we don’t talk on the phone, and maybe once a year via email. Last time we talked via email I told him that college was a “bittersweet memory” to me because we dated my senior year and now we are no longer together. Haven’t heard from him since. I also told him my brother was going to Afghanistan because he is in the army- no response. That was in June ago. At first I was paranoid, then I forgot, then I just thought if he doesn’t have the respect to wish my brother well, F-that! Then I emailed him about something random that had to do with a joint memory in our past, a quick 2 lines, he responded just as quickly and shortly. I didn’t feel the usual heart tug to read it asap, or respond right away, stop what I was doing. In fact I didn’t even respond. I guess I unintentionally set myself free after that last big email in June. I feel much better. If we speak again, I hope it stays as carefree and free of past baggage. Because now my future is much brighter! 9 months ago

I’ve noticed that one of the things that take a great toll on my motivation are all of the what ifs in my life. I guess I tend to think about all the possibilities that I have in the next 6 months and where I should direct my life. And I’ve realized that maybe I daydream about other possibilities because I’m afraid of addressing my situation in the present. Or it could just be that I think too much in the first place.

So right now I’m going to try and focus on my situation now and try to make the most of what I have. I have a lot of opportunities to be involved in the place that I am in right now. I just have to go out there and explore and try to engage in them. And not think about running away again like I did when I was in Manila. 9 months ago

I’m really a perfectionist at work. And I feel like it’s really unnecessary a lot of the time.

Maybe this is also why my room is too dirty. I feel like I have too many projects in my head, but I don’t realize the time that I would need to do them. 10 months ago

Nothing is a better teacher than age & experience. I find that the older I get, it’s easier to let go of things and I don’t get hung up on stuff so much. As I get older, I have more confidence in myself and a better sense of self and major and minor set backs don’t impact me as much.

Part of this could be that I’m starting to ask myself – “In the grand scheme of things, how will this impact my life?” and “What can I do about it?”. There is ALWAYS a choice – you can choose to react either positively or negatively and the choice is yours. From disappointments to broken hearts, we humans are resilient creatures, we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for, so it’s time to we show ourselves what we’re made of… 17 months ago
