Subtle Glow

my stubborn will, is learning to bend...

Just a blip on the vent-meter

I’m just saying, and this is directed at no one in particular, that some things just need to be Let Go.  Sometimes it’s all you can do to acknowledge that there’s nothing more you can do but to accept things for what they are, because you will never be able to change them.  Sometimes you have to realize that despite all else, you really are doing good.

Sometimes, people just prefer to be unhappy and dissatisfied.  Sometimes people even make a conscious choice to be that way.  It does not automatically place responsibility on you to do try to find creative ways to change this.
So, to go through the exercise again and again of trying to come up with an answer to WHY things are the way they are, just accept it and move on.  Move on to something that is actually a productive use of time and resources.

Let It Go.

That’s all I’m saying.

And, if being around those people who prefer to be unhappy and dissatisfied cause you stress, you can always choose to let THEM go, too. Regardless of the relationship.

I’m wondering right now… is it really worth pursuing the “obligation” to spend holidays (and the expected gift money) on people who have shown surprisingly little interest in my well-being and life since my parents died last year, and who haven’t bothered to call or return calls ONCE during the past year? Just because they’re my {insert familial role}…

Let It Go. How true.
