I’m letting go of doing it all.
Instead, I’m just going to live.
I’m going to let myself have space to stumble, to fall, to fail, to try, to love, to breathe, to laugh.
To smile.
I’m going to make my days that I get to live count.
I’m going to fill them with moments that may seem selfish to others but are taking care of me. I’m going to say to no to obligations that distract and yes to my family. I’m going to be.
To find joy.
I’m going to stop worrying about what others think of me.
I’m going to release that pesky baggage of the past that haunts me over and over. I’m going to forgive and move on. I’m going to be the best me I can be knowing that those that love me love me for me.
To breathe.
That’s the goal.
I’ll probably have to start again.
And again. And again.
But I have the time.
I have today. This moment.
And that day?
I’m not wasting it waiting for tomorrow to come.
Because today I will live.
