On letting go of dreams

I given up on a lot of dreams in my lifetime, but the last 5 years or so have been extremely rough. Some things are just too impossible to obtain for a person like me without going through another mental breakdown. I’m learning to grieve for the person I wanted to be and nuturing the person I am instead. Loving and taking care of myself instead of only thinking of others isn’t selfish nor narcissistic because being a doormat for others to take advantage of is not lovingkindness. We all need to learn to love and take care of ourselves better. Let go of all of the internal tapes that hold you back from learning to dream again. I am enough as so are you.

I've always been ambitious with big dreams for myself. But my early adulthood was full of struggles and failures. Along the way, I learned that the things I thought I wanted aren't necessarily the things that would make me happy. I'm learning to appreciate the little things, and being grateful for everything that I have. Take it one day at the time, celebrate every success/victory. We don't know how long we're going to be alive. Don't worry about the future, just live in the moment. Enjoy the journey.

For a minute there I thought maybe I’d written and posted this myself in a half-sleep or something. Very weird. I could have written exactly those words. It’s very tough right now for me, because everyone is so used to me being their doormat that they’re all in shock at the new me, and some of them are very angry. Oh well, I guess they’re just going to have to get used to it.
