But I need to get it done. Otherwise it goes back in the box that hides in the basement and calls to me whenever I walk near. And so I did finish putting together an album for my ex and gave it to him for his bday. And I've completed the baby book for my son. And now I'm just gathering the misc. photos and putting them into albums and photo boxes. Ignoring the "what happened". Because if I can get through it, I break the past's hold on me. I can resume living in the present and not give my inner critic the fuel it likes to use when it says I'm a failure. Whew...thank goodness I'm almost done.
"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook" William James
It doesn't really matter what happened...it did and it's done....
ReplyDeleteforward always....even if holding a bit of back there in a wee small place in our hearts...always forward....because we do not want to miss today..the now..this life
I need to go through my pictures too!
good job Elena for doing the work
good for you
it's all behind you.....move forward and be proud of who you are and what you've been through....I'm sure you are different and much stronger....so what happened....doesn't have to be answered....only touched every now and then.....just like you did, with the photos.....and a album for your ex and the baby album done....I think that box doesn't have anything on you !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job and the sharing of it too! Major growth to admire.
