#Letting Go

[burned0utstar]

I'd like to kill myself please.

I don't know how to survive letting you go fully.

I don't know how to survive seeing you change from afar.

One of my life's hard-won lessons is that people basically do what they want to do.

If someone is treating me poorly and they do not respond to my requests to stop or change their behavior, that's not because I didn't ask the right way. It's because this is how they want to act.

So I'm going to skip the political recriminations that the left didn't offer the right messaging or that Dems need to work harder to appeal to [insert demographic here] voters.

The voters had the information they needed and they have made their choice. It is not our job to coax people into caring about others/the planet/their own future. Voters are not cats hiding under the bed. It's insulting to everyone to act like they are.

This is what most of the voters wanted. Accepting that fact means we are in a much better position to do real good where we can instead of continuing to bang our heads against the wall of indifference.

I reject the idea that I have to make caring palatable for people who don't wanna. Letting go of that "obligation" to perfect the message frees my energy for things that will actually move the needle.

Remember the Pirkei Avot: "You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it."

I will forever be the person who says "it’s okay, I understand.." even when my heart is breaking into pieces..

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it.

Please forgive yourself for all the versions you couldn't become. Forgive yourself for the wrong things you said. Forgive yourself for not knowing what you wish you knew by now. Forgive yourself for the darker and shadowed parts of you, that are still just as beautiful. We have to learn to be able integrate all of the parts of ourselves because they are each in their own ways magnetic and beautiful.
