I’m not sure when it happened but at some point mistakes became unacceptable.
Look at society, you drink too much, you say the wrong thing, you make the wrong move…you are done. Over, not forgiven but yet humiliated and chastised for something that you aren’t proud of either, but it isn’t looked at with love, it isn’t looked at with forgiven, or with grace, or understanding. Why?
And why do we do it to ourselves in the worst way?
And what do we do to fix it?
Life is beautiful, we are supposed to make mistakes, we are supposed to live, and love with no regrets…how can we do that with anxiety and worry?
So…I’ve figured it out, and I’m going to share the secret with you…for free, I know, you are welcome.
Life your life, stop giving a shit about opinions that don’t matter, say sorry when you need to, but LIVE with no regrets, with full focus on yourself. If you want to do something do it! If you fail…the people that truly love you will be there to catch you when you fall, they won’t chastise you, they will care for you through it all.
I’m ALWAYS worried about what others think, I mean ALL of the time. So, I’m trying to be done giving a fuck. (Excuse the language but I mean it.) I’m writing this post selfishly, I’m doing it for me, as a reminder to stop being so scared, to start standing up, living my truth, and doing it without being terrified of the opinions of others.
I obsess over what I do and say after I’ve done it, I’ve even been known to write down and entire conversation after I’ve had it with a person to read it over and see where I could have made them angry, I know, not the healthiest move, and that’s why I am being honest with you about it. IT DOESN’T MATTER.
After doing this a few times I thought, why am I so worried about people leaving me or being done loving me if I say one thing wrong, and if they do…do I need these people in my life?
Hell no. And neither do you, find the people who love you, let them help foster the confidence in you that you deserve.
You deserve to live every part of your life; without the opinion of others, with the grace of the ones that you love, and with zero regrets ALWAYS.
So join me?
Join me in the art of finding the ones who are willing to love you along the journey….also let me add, it’s me.
If you feel that you have no one that treats you that way, reach out because I’m always down to hear about the wonderful choices you are making to make your life yours.
