I stood still, vision blurring, and in that moment, I heard my heart break. It was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower’s stem.”

UM…LOVE

Let. It. Go.
I just want to take a moment to thank he Lord for the many blessings I have!
Lately, too often i’ve been focusing on the very wrong things….Being jealous of another girl in my branch because she has the ability to socialize better than I do, being upset that I haven’t’ been able to lose weight even though I haven’t been working for it, Being so far away from home and family and feeling so alone, Not feeling like i have talents or hobbies because i compare myself to others….and the list goes on!
I need to stop. Just. Stop. It.
Stop the worrying. Stop the woe-is-me. And certainly stop the comparisons. If my Heavenly Father doesn’t compare me to others when watching over me, why should I? How is that fair, to constantly measure myself to someone else’s best, when that may not be MY best? It’s especially unfair when I typically compare my weaknesses to someone else’s strengths…
I seek confidence. I seek comfortability, with being myself as well as expressing myself. I seek the confidence in knowing it’s okay to have hobbies and likes and dislikes. To share them with people, because that’s what makes me unique.
I need to learn to celberate my uniqueness, instead of sheltering it and hiding it away, for no one to see.
I don’t know what it is, or why I feel so alone sometimes. I don’t know why I have been so woe-is-me, and more often than not feeling down in the dumps about something or someone. But the time has come where I realize my mistakes. I need to live up to my own advice, when i tell people that they can choose to be happy. I can choose to be happy. And i am going to do just that.
So, I am letting everything go. My bitterness. My jealousies. My selfishness. My hatred. My shortcomings. My self-consciousness. I am letting it go. Taking a deep breath, and just trusting in the Lord.
Because I know that if I work on perfecting myself through Christ, perfected I will become.
And I am so grateful to finally realize that all this time, I’ve been the one weighing myself down. No one else is responsible for my happiness but me.

So many words get lost. They leave the mouth and lose their courage, wandering aimlessly until they are swept into the gutter like dead leaves.”
