Let Go & Leap!

  The other day I was having a discussion with a dear friend that did not start off with the intention of digging deeper into ourselves but it led us into this.... That Sometimes we keep ourselves in a box, because of past relationships or situations that birthed insecurities of which we’ve continued to feed and give life. Then all these things grow and grow until it turns into something bigger. Could it be that we are the ones stopping ourselves, pushing things and people away, because of what we’ve been conditioned to feel, or believe we are or what we think we want because of past things? Maybe if we step outside of ourselves and own our truth and acknowledge the past, but move away from it then we will be able to expand, gain clarity, and grasp hold to the very things in life that are for us. We have to get outside of our minds/pressures and allow our thoughts to flourish the way they were intended to. We have to recondition our minds to let go of what we thought was the way things should’ve been. I’m learning that what I want may not be what the Sun has for me. Maybe the universe has been pushing us and telling us to move forward, or change paths, but we’ve been so stuck/set on one thing or one way of thinking that we can’t see what the stars have been aligning us for.

Then in having that discussion it led me to think about a convo I had a week prior with a friend from high school. 

SIDENOTE: LOL! Trust me y’all I am not this deep on the daily, but often in my head and when I’m picking someone’s brain and figuring things out...

Also I love friends that no matter how time or life has separated us, it doesn’t matter. We can pick up having a meaningful convo and laugh like there was no time lapse. OKAY I DIGRESS 

But our talk led me, well both of us to grasp that we do NOT have life figured out and we are not alone. I am still figuring out who I am and what exactly I want to do. I’m realizing that I am not the same person I was at 19, 23, or who I was at the end of last year at 25. And it’s totally okay! The same things we desired and wanted to be then are not the same as now. We are every changing and evolving. And we have to allow ourselves time to find the right soil, plant, water our seeds, take root and grow. Life is hard, I don’t have it figured out, but life is great at the same time. I’m going to step outside my comfort zone and be vulnerable. Because vulnerability in the right way is not a bad thing. 

I may not like the issues that are going on around me, or in my life, but I’m learning to love exactly where I’m at no matter what. I have breath in my body, love to pour out to all those around me, and the Sun who NEVER EVER seems to fail me.
