What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
Learning how to let go of things that don’t matter

There is only so much energy that a person has. How you use that energy is your individual choice. People continue to feel angry towards people who may have upset them or hurt someone they know, particularly if they feel they didn’t deserve it. Sometjmes thus can go on for years. In reality, the perpetrator rarely thinks about the hurt they cause and is effectively sapping your energy and continuing to hurt you each day.

Even if you aren’t ready to let it go just yet, try to imagine what it would feel like, in the future,  to not have to carry that burden and hurt with you. What else could you be doing with your time, your life?

The more you tighten your grip, the more it takes from you. It’s really not worth it.

I have found it helpful to bring that awful aspect of behaviour or character into a short story, then ensure something hideous happens to them. It’s a means of harmless closure. Most of the time the person doesn’t know its them, because toxic people rarely see the poison within.

It may seem a little dark, and I may be misquoting someone here but I leave you with this final thought

All the people who have hurt you will inevitably be dead soon. No one gets out alive.

But you can better survive if you don’t let them ruin the time that you have.
