Oh my GOD. I hate myself right now. Today was an.......interesting day. I gorged myself in television, pancakes and cranberry sauce, which was good, but the rest: not so much. I have an excruciating headache from all the rethinking I've done. Previously, I've said that for you to let something go, then someone else has to let it go also. But after today, I've realized that's not true.
The only thing you can change is yourself. If you think about it, you can't control anything or anyone rather than you and your own body, and sometimes not even that. So why focus on what you think someone needs to do? You can't change them, and there's nothing wrong with them anyhow. We are who are, in the immortal words of Ke$ha. It's sort of empowering to know that you are completely responsible for everything that happens to you, but it's also terrifying. This means that you can never blame another person EVER and be right about it. So, when I complain, (and I do often) I'm lying to myself. That doesn't mean I can't, or shouldn't complain, it just means I can never prove I'm right when I do.
"People are like magnets. They attract everything that comes to them." This quote is what sometimes throws me off. Does it mean that we deserve everything we get? That can't be true. I don't think I deserved to have my uncle pass away. I don't think my family deserved that. I don't think people with talent deserve to be turned away so that they can't tell the world who they are. I don't think that you deserve to be so sad you would take your own life. How could you tell a father of a murder victim that people get what they give? So I think taking responsibility with what happens to you means that you are the one who chooses how you feel about anything and everything. Everything you get, you decide what to make of it. Whatever you get served, it's yours to dive into.
It's all yours!
