I need inspiration to finish my list of things to "let go of" that I will burn in my fire tonight during the solstice! All the negative emotions, bad habits, and deceptive people need to put in my past so this list is important to me.

I plan to start next year and this new decade with a fresh outlook and only bring good things & people into my life!!!

What would you wish outta your life?

I am starting with the ex bf, his mother & the negative thoughts that I have about myself, but I know there is more I need to think about:)

I have learned the truth or realized it about many, many things recently so now it's time to let go of what I can not change and change what I can to be the best me I can be-LOL!

Great topic! Something I need to start thinking about for the new year also....

I do know one of the most important things I need to let go of....

My last ex and how my second marriage ended. It all obviously still has a good hold on me because I dream of him and his family a lot still. I believe it is because I really have had no "closure" on that chapter of my life due to the way it ended. But I need to understand and accept that what I have is what I have and even though it's unsatisfactory to me, it is all I will ever get as far as closure goes. (After fighting one Thursday night, he kissed me on the forehead, told me how important I was to him and left for his mom and dad's to "think things through and cool off". He called me on Sunday and told me he wanted a divorce because I would not quit my job and move him an hour closer to be with his family and I never saw him again. I later found out that he had been cheating on me with a woman he had gone out with once or twice before we got together and that it never had anything to do with whether I would move back to Arkansas or not.) He and his family held my life hostage for the 10 years that we were together and I have allowed them to continue to do so for the past two years and I need to take my life back.

I'm sure there will be more I think of but that one is at the top of the list!!!

Flygirl I have much to let go of.
I wish it was easy to set it down and walk away, but I'm going to try just like you are.

I aint letting go of nothing.

The bad things and the good things have all formed me into the mouthy prick that I am today.

Without the screwed up, bad parts of my life...I would have no apprecieation for the good things I have.

I agree that the bad in my life has made me who I am as much as the good, but I have to let go of what& who may be keeping me from reaching my full potential. Some people's negativity is overwhelming and they use your emotions to make you constantly second guess every decision you make and try to make you feel personally responsible if you don't make the decisions that benefit them in particular!

I let go of those emotions and the people who have manipulated them and accepted that I am free to make the choices that suit me in life. I am only responsible for my own happiness. I will never second guess myself again, nor let anyone sway my opinion of myself. I am a great person that walks through life seeking peace, happiness, and love and I accept that and will prevent those miserable souls in life from tormenting mine again!

I went through some very traumatic experiences in life and battled with depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, and lost nearly all self confidence. Finding myself again was hindered by the crappy emotionally abusive relationship I stayed in and I have dealt with the reasons I allowed that to be a part my life so letting go of what holds me back was necessary at this point in my life & my plan is to never have to "need to do this" this again for myself by being true to and taking care of myself.
