Here is something that I just discovered: if you have to cry, then fuck how it looks and fuck how you look doing it, cry!!! I just had to cry and I startled my cat and I know I looked absolutely hideous, but damn did it feel good. I feel way more level headed and less muddled as I did before, I feel a little more forgiving than I did a few hours ago. You know I have had to come to terms with the fact that there are some things that are out of your control and there are some things that are within your control and honey lemme tell you, the stuff that you can’t control then don’t try to control it (the second thing that I had to learn is marriage is a true battlefield and sometimes you will hurt and when you come out of whatever war y’all are in, the love that will eventually come back feels good but that is another post for another day). Like if someone (someone you really care about) gives you a reaction that hurts and is also a little selective of hearing when they’re angry, then let that be. Forgive, forget; let yourself heal from the hurt, forgive and learn your lessons (take your L’s) and slowly (and I mean fucking slow) begin to get to know that person, let them get to know you and in the process of getting to know one another, you will find yourself getting angry less at whatever they do and adapt your talking style to them so there will be a discussion and not screaming match. So once again, to forgive and move on, cry if you have to. Do what I did and do nothing all day, eat a whole bowl of homemade chili, read a book from Wattpad, do your financial budget, draw a little, program, ugly cry, let yourself heal and forgive and most importantly move on. If you hold on longer than you should to anger or hatred, bad juju whatever you wanna call it, those feelings will eat away at you and hurt you more than the person who originally did the hurting. You can’t control them and what they understand, but you sure as hell can control yourself and what you do. Okay, that’s it, rant over. Stay safe and know you are loved y’all. I’m still trying to be consistent but I have also accepted that I am an inconsistent bitch.
