notes on life : insomnia's bitch


As much as I believe in my ability to let things go, I recently read* that no matter how hard we try, there will be things in life that we can't let go of, and I think I agree.

I have spent hours in a dark spin room visualizing what I want to let go of, following my breathe, sweating shit out, and peeling away the layers.

And it's true, I have let go of a lot. But the more I think about this idea of confronting the painful thoughts/things/instances/ that I believe I have to move past, sitting with all the feelings, and really feeling them, without a time frame**, might be the way to move on.





*I think I read it, I might have heard it or glanced at a Facebook post headline...

**I've also recently realized that I put unrealistic time frames upon myself, believing I should be: 'over it'; 'doing better'; 'doing more', and I can see how it has become another chance to successfully beat myself up and keep myself down.
