*letting go*

In the past year and a half, I have removed several people from my life.
I realized these people weren’t bad, but they were hurting me, making me feel as though I was never good enough.
Some, I cut out without an honest explanation.
I just needed to move on from them and discover better energy.
I needed people that would love me for me, and not try to use me to make themselves feel happy.
I fought with them, let their scorn get to me,
and for so long I hoped I’d never have to walk by them.
Now, I have realized that not everyone deserves an explanation.
If someone makes you unhappy or tries to put power over you and your emotions, let them.
It is up to you to walk away and rise above.
I now surround myself with the best people that lift my spirits and make me a better person.
And for that, I have to thank the people I walked away from.
For showing me that there are brighter days.
