finding peace

"You know, Luna, I'm finally letting go of everything in my life." You took a sip in your cola. You heaved a sigh of relief as if you just got a thorn out of your throat. "I let go of the people who had done me wrong , those who doesn't really care for me, those who hate me--- all of them. I let go of the thoughts about how my life should be. I spent too much time living my life trying to be more of who I am. I let go of all the worries I have inside my head. Most of all, I finally learned how to live happily." You're right. You spent too much of your life worrying for others while no one ever bothered to ask how you are. For once, you are doing yourself a favor. "Doing this, I got my peace of mind. The fears, worries and emptiness I have, it all disappeared. I can finally sleep at night. I won't overthink again. I don't have to think of what others will say. See how my life has changed? Sounds a bit selfish but..." You smiled and took a deep breath. I can clearly see the excitement in your eyes--- excitement about your life. "At last, you grew up, Shea and no, it's not selfish. People out there who judge others are the selfish ones. They don't know how their words and actions affect someone. They don't care." I said. I know what you're thinking. You think that if you stop building ties with others, you'll never feel lonely and hurt. I've been there. I were once like you until I let go of everything and decided not to care anymore. I chose to live my life the way I wanted to. I trust no one but myself. I trust myself that I will be okay no matter what happens. Letting go of everything made me realize my self-worth. I'm glad that you did, too.
