Letters To Grow From: Sweet Surrender

Emotional Healing. Child of an alcoholic. Young adult depression. Inspiration.

I was once told by a wise woman that emotions are a strong force to be reckoned with. They breathe their own life and have their own destructive force. If one does not allow their emotions both happy and sad to escape and feel acknowledged, they will eat away at the life they live in. My journey in life has been a road filled with many peaks of happiness and many valleys of depression. But through it all I have held those words of wisdom with me. I have always found it easy to release my anguish, my depression, my sadness, and my happiness to those around me who love me and to my best friends “pad and paper.”

With this blog I hope to inspire others to write their emotions on paper, let the forgiving page hear all the words of hurt, pain, contentment, joy. With this blog I hope to inspire myself to forgive all that hurts in my life, to let go of old grudges and to grow, from the inside out.

Sweet Surrender

I surrender.

I surrender to powers greater than my own.

I surrender to knowing that I don’t know everything

I surrender

I surrender trying to be the best

And will allow myself to be me

I surrender trying to make others happy

I will make myself happy first

I surrender control over every aspect of life

Please, spontaneity, hit me like a ton of bricks

I surrender

I surrender my self consciousness

I surrender my anger toward the past

I surrender

I now throw up my white flag on all of the negative in my life.

Universe, it is now yours to take.

Bury it in the bottom of the ocean

Or send it high into the sky to join the stars

But no longer will they be mine, or a part of me

I surrender it all.

Such insight. I am going to print this out and keep it in my wallet.
