Letting go of old ties

It’s not easy to detach yourself from people you’ve had close ties with. However this is sometimes necessary in order to restore your happiness. It is very vital to cleanse your space & protect your peace. No matter how much love we have got someone, if they are toxic and bring stress to your life, we must let go. One thing that I’ve learnt is that letting go can be a start of new beginnings. From that point onwards, you start feeling refreshed. Things that had previously bothered you via that person, are no longer bothering you.

Do you sometimes feel weary even around ‘close friends’ ? Examine your space and your circle. If someone is not benefiting you or helping you to grow in an aspect in your life, something is wrong. If the people around you do not inspire you, there is also an issue. “Bad company corrupts good character” – 1 Corinthians 15:33. This is pretty much self explanatory, but I’ll break it down for ya’. The company you keep can potentially impact your lifestyle. Associating with the wrong batch can lead to you being adversely influenced in a negative way. Many times in life, there are moments in which we are moved by bad influences. I’d really like to think that as a ‘’big woman’’ now, my perspective and judgement on things would allow me to stay on the right path and not be led astray. Unluckily for me, I still have weak spots. I am still vulnerable to the influence of attitudes and actions of ungodliness. I know I’m definitely working on that.

Back to where I left off! Stop letting the wrong people influence you, be around people who inspire & motivate you. Drop people with bad vibes, and surround yourself with people who bring you happiness. Sometimes we wish toxic people would just exit our lives. But at the end of the day it comes down to who you let into your life and who you decide to drop out. Yes sure, sometimes you may want to stand back and observe the situation to see if the person will change; but PLEASE do not let this always be the case whenever an altercation pops up!
Do not drown yourself in sake of the happiness of someone else.

You need to let go.

The lost soul.

I strayed so far, no one else saw it but you.
I fell so deep into the pits of the world, yet again no one saw it but you. You continuously picked me up, dusted me and placed me back onto the right path. But I walked ahead thinking I knew the way.. then I got lost. So lost I couldn’t find my way back. I tried to run and do this thing called life without you.. then I realise. It’s really you I should be walking with, I need you to guide me through this dark tunnel. You are the light leading the way whilst I follow. HOW could I ever think I could do this without you? I put all my trust in you, because you told me that you love me. You told me to pour out my heart to you because all I have is you. I find strength and courage through you, because through you I can do all things. It’s you, it’s always been you from the very start. It’s you I needed, to get through all the pain, the doubt, the confusion and times of trouble. When I crumbled, you picked up all the broken pieces and you fixed them back together. Those pieces were aspects of my life, I was falling apart because I didn’t have you. Well I did, you have always been beside me.. but I pushed you away. I was running from you because I didn’t want you to see what I was doing behind closed doors. I didn’t want you to see my imperfections and flaws. But all along you could see it all, nothing can be hid from you. It’s you Lord. Thank you for being for me and being with me on my worse days. Thank you for being the rock I cling to when nothing else is around. I’m coming back lord, but please guide me, I think I’m lost again..

Why I don’t want to fall in love..

You ask, “why are you so opposed to love?”, well if you really want to know I’ll tell you. Love kills, not physically but mentally. The act of love is draining, to give your all, your mind, soul and body to another human just like yourself. Quite bizarre don’t you think? The audacity to open your mouth and say ‘I love you’ loool. Do you know what love is? No ? Neither do I. That’s why I can’t love, I can’t give love and I can’t have love for anyone .. I don’t even know if I love myself. It’s all an act, this fake happiness, this fake I love myself care free shit. I give up, I give up on trying to maintain this happiness I’m only breaking myself. But no one sees it, no one except myself and God. He sees it, but he does nothing.. woah I thought this was about love. Look where I’ve wondered too. Pause, stop & rewind let’s go back to where it all started. “WHY ARE YOU SO OPPOSED TO LOVE?”. I hate love, because love hates me.. strange right ? What I mean is, I find love and put love in the wrong places, so to save myself from sorrow I degrade the feelings of love or what I’ve subjectively defined as love. Well I can say that I love God, I love the fact that despite all my wrong doings, my sins and backsliding he still protects me and guides me. But I will never brag about my love for God because I’m far from the perfect Christian. But I will brag about the love that God has for me. This is because Gods love is just and he is a just God. How did we end up here? From hating love to the greatness of God. I came off track so many times. Oh well, you’re not perfect either.
