That thing that you’re holding on to, the person that you’re still angry with or those words that you wish you could take back…let it go, all of it. If you are desperately holding onto something, it may be time to accept that it’s not meant for you. If you are waiting for someone to say “I’m sorry”, the reality is that you could be waiting forever, and letting it go doesn’t mean you have to accept what someone said or did, it just means that it’s time to let it go and/or let them go too. (I know that this one is easier said than done…I’m writing this as a reminder to myself).
So, with that being said…
Expectations are to root of disappointment, so manage them wisely.
Your life isn’t a romantic comedy, so you could be waiting for forever for the big romantic “I’m sorry” gesture. Sure it happens, but that is the exception to a much larger rule.
Your life is what YOU make it, and you always have control over who gets an invite into your life.
Oh, and that petty thing that you can’t forgive…Will it matter in a month? Will you remember the details of why you are upset six months from now?
