letting go

letting go doesn't mean we don't care.

letting go doesn't mean we shut down.

letting go means we stop trying to force

outcomes and make people behave. it means

we give up resistance to the way things are,

for the moment. it means we stop trying to do

the impossible–controlling that which we cannot

–and instead, focus on what is possible

i think life is simpler than we tend to think. we look

for answers and more answers. but there are no
answers. things happen in life, good things and bad.

people say, 'why did it happen to me?' well, why not?

some people win the lottery, and others die in a car

crash. it happens, and there is nothing we can do about

it. the universe doesn't care what happens to you.

right now, i’m working on figuring out who I am. i know

it will probably never be good enough, but i can’t continue

to be a stranger in my own skin.
