Letting Go...

| Kyra's "Letting Go" Blog Hop |
We've all had to say good-byes that break our hearts. I could depress the crap out you with tearful farewells of my past...but it's Monday, and honestly, I don't need that on this chilly, gray day.
No, I'm going to tell you about a farewell that brought me nothing but peace.
Long ago, in a galaxy not far away, I gave up giving a damn.
Teen angst and youthful insecurity? Hasta la vista.
Nail biting worry that people won't like me or will judge me by the wrong measure? Screw it.
You want to judge me without knowing me...that's your fail, not mine.
I'm me.
I'm what God made me, nothing more, nothing less.
On my best day, I am a flawed bit of goofy human...and so are you...and I love you for that.
Now. Go be you and have an awesome day. :)

I think this is a perfect entry for the bloghop! And I love you exactly as you are! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in! :D
My pleasure...and the feeling is mutual. Best of luck lady!
DeleteWell, on your best day if that's what you've got, that's still pretty great!
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of the first time I was able to walk past a group of teenagers and not care that I was wearing something not entirely trendy. I was about 30, but I did it!
ReplyDeleteThis is an inspiring post :-)
Isn't it liberating? I choose what I like and if people want to laugh...well I guess I made them smile and that's a good thing. :)
DeleteBeing you is what's most important. I really love your post. So encouraging. Thanks for checking out my entry and despite mine being a sad flash fic, I think all have a message for everybody.
ReplyDeleteI think you did too. Your blue eyed gal needed to learn she didn't need to be the smartest or the prettiest to be valued.
DeleteThis is FANTASTIC! If I only could have gotten to that point sooner in my life, things probably would have gone a lot better for me. In truth, I still struggle with this. Good post.
ReplyDeleteI have my moments...we all have our moments, but the me of today vs. the me of yesterday? She's got a whole lot more comfort in the skin she's in...maybe because it's a bit stretched out and broken in. :)
DeleteI think this is my favorite entry yet!! I love your attitude and outlook on life to pieces. You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you stay the hell away from any guy who is like the dude in your post...he's trouble with a T and probably too much hair gel!
DeleteThie is great! Be yourself and make no apolgies for it. (sometimes easier said than done!)
ReplyDeleteEspecially with teenage kids. Boy, they'll tell you when you look and sound stupid!
DeleteThat's right. Keep it moving. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, but I don't exercise much...lol. Just joking, I know what you're saying and agree 100%
DeleteAmen! I like that attitude.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir :)
DeleteIt's so true. Some years ago I thought it's the most important that people like me and so I tried lots of things to fit to a group. Now I know that I was wrong because when I don't like me, how could anyone else? And only to be someone for someone else is never the right solution. Be who you are and don't let anyone change you, because everyone is perfect just the way he/she is.
ReplyDeleteDarned tootin! And when you're trying hard to be something you're not, you get confused about who you are pretnding to be and then you forget where you are and where you live...oh, that's just me? LOL
DeleteThere is no better gift a human can give themselves than just being happy being you.
ReplyDeleteIf we were all the same...how boring would that be?
DeleteHere's to just not giving a damn!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteSaying hello from the blog hop....isn't it wonderful to just do your thing without caring what others think? =)
ReplyDeleteYep. It feels good, like a weight is lifted.
DeleteGreat advice and what a motto to live by...gave up giving a damn!
ReplyDeleteYou may put it on a button. :)
DeleteThis was awesome and empowering to read. Woot!
ReplyDeleteA woot woot back at ya and a thank you!
DeleteLOVE this! Thanks for it. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome. :)
DeleteA slamming piece. I love the in-your-face, lump-it-or-leave-it attitude!!
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from the blog hop.
Glad you stopped by! And hey, my mom always told me lump it or leave it when I whined about dinner...the pieces are falling together!
DeleteYessss, love this attitude! Nice entry for the blog hop :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess my attitudes grows with the rest of me. :)
DeleteFantastic post.
ReplyDeleteI love how the older I get the less I care about what others think. I've let go of some toxic feelings and people over the years because of my changing attitude.
Good for you!! Dumping toxic people...you are a wise, brave lady.
DeleteGreat post! You said what a lot of us want to say. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I know how you feel about letting go. I was 15 when my dad died.
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you. I was lucky enough to have my dad until I was 41. Forever wouldn't have been enough time, but I got a lot more than other people get. And I comfort myself with the knowledge that I have a special angel watching over me and I believe that one day I will get to hug him again.
DeleteGreat post! You're right, we shouldn't worry about people who judge us on a first impression.
ReplyDeleteI totally need several for people to realize there are some active brain cells in my head!
Deletehahaha...did u realize you "let go", u let go of negativities for the day...awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's it exactly...I let go of the negative!
DeleteBEST POST I'VE READ IN THE HOP!!! THIS WAS AWESOME!
