#let go of the past

THISSS I ACTUALLY LOVE THOSE THEMES SO MUCH!!!

The final TF2 issue really got to me. Spoilers, but it’s the reveal that all of this suffering and murder and war over gravel and shitty land was for nothing but senseless, bottomless hatred. That the administrator can’t even remember where this revenge plot started as she flashes through different false memories of her parents’ deaths. There was never a tragic backstory or justification, only terrible people doing despicable things. And despite how crass and stupid and unserious TF2 is, the story subverts every expectation by showing the survivors and inheritors willingly breaking the cycle. Ms. Pauling lies to the administrator and chooses not to save her, and finally lets her die. (Hurts even more if you read into the subtext that Ms. Pauling is in love with the administrator.) She lets the final cache of Australium go and walks away from the burden and legacy of a century-old bloodfeud. Hale lets Gray’s daughter go and live her life freely. Spy is the first to arrive at Scout’s house and meet his big family, finally takes off his mask, and helps with the kids. Even Merasmus exhaustedly makes peace with himself and Soldier and chooses not to curse him or something. There’s nothing to finish, no promises to keep, and no one to avenge. The only thing to do is break the cycle and walk away.

It feels odd how happy and warm everything is, but it feels so right and earned. These bloodthirsty, awful, violent men were expendable cogs in a machine of endless violence, and they found a way out. It’s a genuinely great message about letting go the past that burdens you and finding the will and a way to hit the bricks, change, and be happy. Maybe they don’t technically deserve happiness, but they’ve got it nonetheless, and they’re not gonna let it go to waste. They’re still all crazy and violent, but on their own terms now and with people who love them! Smiles.

In the Bible, Joseph was betrayed and sold into slavery by his own brothers, then falsely accused and put in prison. He could have used excuse after excuse to be bitter and angry, but he had a "no excuses" mentality. He kept doing the right thing when the wrong thing was happening. And in the end, he came out vindicated, promoted, and in a place of influence and respect.

Let go of the hurts, offenses, and wounds of the past. Declare that they have no power over you. 💙

when do you let go?

when it feels heavy on your soul, when you feel more trapped than emancipated, when it tastes less sweet and more like poison, when you feel yourself sinking instead of floating, when freedom becomes a battle, open your heart to intuition, you'll always know

when do you hold on?

when hope exists, when it fills your lungs with air no matter how deep the struggle is, when joy overweighs sadness, when flowers grow from hard spaces in your heart, when you don't feel the friction it's worth holding on to, if it flows, it's worth swimming in

Resistance :

Resistance is made from desperation. The harder you push to get something, the worse the resistance gets. Detaching and recognizing that you already have what it is that you're pushing for is what will bring it to you in a jiffy. Let go. It's already yours. 🤍

I need to be okay with not having you

I need to be okay with letting you go

[alwaysadri1]

All these demons living in my mind

On my clothes

In my house

Living in my car

Surrounding everything in my being

Can a priest help me?

Or just me?

If you’ve left a situation that’s no longer working for you, I’m proud of you. If you’ve given up something that wasn’t good for you, I’m proud of you. Endings are never easy, but change can be beautiful. 🦋

You have to let go. You have to let go because when you hold on, when you keep something alive inside of you, you are allowing for your past to take up the space in your heart and in your mind that is meant for your future.

Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Embarrassment highlights mistakes so you don’t repeat them. There’s no advantage in retaining any embarrassment that longer serves that purpose once you've learned and grown beyond the related mistake. I grant you permission to let go of useless past embarrassment. 2:28 PM · Mar 23, 2024
