Life is all about a balance.

A balance of holding on and letting go. Holding on and letting go of the people that come in and out of your life. Deciphering who to hold on to, and who to let go of. Deciphering when to hold on and when it’s time to let go. Holding on and letting go of your personal freedoms. Holding on to your morals and values that encompass your soul, letting go of fear and paranoia. What do you need to hold on to to keep you in the zone of who you really are? What do you need to let go of to be able to freely express yourself and feel truly comfortable in your own skin?

Thoughts….I guess that’s something we all have to remember. Certain people come in and out of our lives – they leave an imprint in our memories forever. I’m not just talking about relationships but also friendships, strangers – and – acquaintances that we encounter. This year has been a big change. I have made changes – I have left people and people have left me. I do think we all have the option of who we keep in our lives.  The relationships we choose to hold onto and keep strong with one another. This year -there were  moments in my life where I felt we had to part ways. I also felt some people made the wrong decision – walking away from MY LIFE. It was downright – unbelievable. A friendship built on so much history just disappeared before my eyes. So what can I do? …..Nothing – things happen for a reason - and you know what – I’m okay with it. Because that too shall pass. If anything it’s great to think of the good times and the bad. Most of them were good times, and the fact that a friend and I have moved on to different places in our life…and they have chosen to block me out – it’s okay -  it’s their loss. I know I wont reach out to them – but when they’re ready. They know where to find me. That is if I’m still around. I don’t let a lot of people into my life, and the ones I do – I keep very close to my heart. Again I still believe we are in control of of maintaining those relationships…some people forget and don’t care…. and there is nothing I can do…. such is life. At least I know I have myself – my family and God.

Luv, Candy

    Hope all is well. Haven’t heard from you in a while. :D

    Deciphering who to hold on to, and who to let go of. – Sounds like what I’m trying to currently figure out with family right now. The ones who don’t want to seem to be apart of my life that is.

    Also sounds like an “old friend” or maybe a few past ones. The one old friend in particular I keep thinking about returning to, but there’s trust issues involved. If you don’t have trust you don’t have anything, so maybe she was only meant to be in my life for that particular time and I did learn something HUGE from it. The kind of friends I really want.

    Again hope your doing great. Your probably just really busy. :D

    Heyyyyyyyyyyy *HUGGS*
    I’ve been really busy – just teaching! Preparing things and I’ve felt so tired I haven’t been surfing and writing. I feel really bad for my LJ friends that still post: because I have no time to read their entries and comment. I don’t even .post there publicly.

    I agree – I guess people come and go – theres nothing we can do…
    I’m doing well – awww hope you’re doing well yourself.
