The Antidote

Don't grip tightly that which brings you down.
Open your hand, letting it go, allowing it not to enter your heart.
Lest it become a terminal condition.
Embrace tightly in your heart that which is good
Leaving no room for bitterness, resentment, anger or hatred.
Let those go and put behind you what was.
Let the things that happened in the past return there.
They have no place in your present and may only serve to poison your future.
Learn from it, don't live by it.
Instead, live life in spite of it.

Ah something I needed to hear today, Just got ride of an infectious relationship that still haunts me, I guess i am just going to have to let it go or let it eat me... Well done, very thought provoking

Thank you so much. I can't help but get a sheepish smile on my face when someone gives me a positive review. I'm so unsure of myself and feel completely out of my league most times. So again, thank you.
