Independence Day

There is a certain exhiliration in finally letting go of pent-up insecurities and fears. When you reach a moment in your life that you can say, with complete abandon & total sincerity, “FUCK IT.”

A great deal of my life is wasted on worrying about the acceptance of others. The other part of my life was consumed with trying to control the things around me that I could not control. I’m realizing that both of these activities are a complete & total waste of time, not to mention slightly harmful to my fragile psyche. I am not in control of my world. But I am in control of how I approach it, and that, my friends, is a HARD LESSON LEARNED.

    Ah, the serenity prayer comes to mind:
    God grant me the serenity
    to accept the things I cannot change;
    courage to change the things I can;
    and wisdom to know the difference.

    I find that the hard lessons are the ones that stick with us forever. I personally think the hard lessons learned are the ones that mean we finally got “it” and IF we get to come back we won’t make THAT mistake again. ;-)
