I think one of the lessons it has taken me the longest to learn is it okay to feel whatever you feel at any given time. Rather than reacting right away try to let a little time pass to get a better perspective. There are things inside of us that have traumatized us. I think some unsuspecting person can trigger those same feelings. So stepping back and knowing that I am connected to something in my heart that will keep me on my path is comforting to me. When it comes to relationships the time it takes to feel less broken hearted afterwards (I haven’t completely figured that out yet). It seems to hit me in waves like grief. Knowing there is nothing more I can do besides staying true to myself and forgiving seems to keep the title wave from coming towards me.
Yeah it does take a long time to learn that and re-learn it time and time again. There is a moment sometime when I have to leave an unhealthy relationship when I think about what Maxine Waters said, “Reclaiming my time.” :-)
