Things that I found a way to make peace with that have ultimately made me grow tremendously as a person and have made me happier as a human: A Thread

Accepting the fact that someone you love deeply wasn’t for you, and you were not for them. Being genuinely happy when you see that they found someone that makes them happy again. Rooting for them on the sidelines, hoping it works out for them. Acceptance and love.

Realizing that you have been toxic to others in your life & have hurt others terribly because of your own sadness or inner issues. Understanding that they might not ever be a part of your life again, but genuinely thrilled they found peace after you. Realization and truth.

Coming to grips that you needed to hurt the way that you have in order to grow into the person that you are now. You are still growing, you are still a work of art. Things get messy before it becomes a final masterpiece. Understanding is freedom.

Redirecting your mind to completely understand that every single person in your life is temporary, but that’s what makes life beautiful. Be thankful for the time that you spent with someone, even if they have changed or you have changed. Growth.

Giving love to strangers, showing kindness to those who have hurt you. Never let anyone deplete the amount of forgiveness or genuine love that you have inside you, no matter what the experience may have been. Forgiveness is learning.

Doing the inner work for yourself so that you can become better, so that you can be a better person to those around you, so you can have a more positive impact on every person you interact with. Striving to teach the same lesson within others. Reflection leads to peace.
