FACING IT

I woke up today thinking about how easy it is to sweep things under the rug. We do this in hopes that the "out of sight, out of mind", methodology of dealing with things will work. How wrong have we all been in regards to that?! Of course, while dealing with our baggage is the most effective way to continue developing, it is certainly not the easiest. I'm still trying to figure it out. Although I've learned to forgive, I confess that I have not learned how to move on properly. Do I prematurely detach from someone to protect myself from being hurt by them again? Wouldn't that be living fearfully? These are revolving questions that I am currently faced with. 

As we explore facing our stuff together, remember that acknowledging your feelings is the first step. For me, that meant crying over the hurt, having a discussion with the individual that caused it, and forgiving them and myself. I include myself because some things I allowed to happen. This process can be time consuming but I know that it will be worth it. Today, ask yourself the hard questions.
