Internal Turmoil

It's so difficult to just live in the moment. Lately I have been feeling like I need to rush everything. I have always told myself that it'll get better when.... Well that's just silly. I will never be happy in the moment if I live that way and then one day I will realize that I never really enjoyed my life while I was living it. What a sad tale to have to tell.

I should be so grateful for what I have. I am here with my family and friends who absolutely love me. I have a man whom I love with all of my heart and loves me perfectly. Why am I so unsettled?

I think Heavenly Father has given me this time to find myself. He has given me the opportunity to slow down- which I have never really done-and take a second to enjoy life no matter my circumstances.

For once I am able to just be me and I find it more difficult than having things to do. I hid behind my outward successes. Well that can only last for so long before your true colors start to shine through.

So here is my conclusion: I choose to experience it all...good and bad. I choose to love him every day. I choose to love myself no matter where I am at in life. I choose to find success in patience, love, and honesty. I choose to believe the unknown. I choose to let the past go. I choose to not be afraid.

We cannot try to keep ourselves from hurting but we can allow ourselves to let it go once the pain is no longer necessary. Don't hold on to things just to punish yourself. You deserve happiness. Stop trying to find ways to be unsettled...
