I've been focusing a lot on things like boundaries and how discontent leads you to progress. It's a little dark and uncomfortable to have yourself look at reality and the need for change, though it is all very important. But, this post will focus on the positive that follows the struggle to change. You get to decide what your future can be.
Indeed, there's a lot in our past and present that wasn't our choice or didn't unfold like we wanted. For most of my life, I have been living to make different people happy. I don't regret that heartfelt characteristic of my personality. I am not saying I won't continue to do that at times. But, only until recently and a few other times in my life, I have chose myself as the person to make happy and as the main factor in choosing my path.
In the movie The Holiday a man tells a woman that she should be the leading lady of her own life. You, also, we're given that charge when you were born. The person to whom you owe the most care in your life is yourself.
So, you cannot do anything about the past or the present, but you can do something about the future. I know if it might take time, you can feel like the discontent is overwhelming and feel depressed.. I understand that well. But, just keep planning for your future and looking ahead at what is waiting for you. That will help steady you... or you can drink ha.. but keep your eyes ahead and keep moving forward. The darkness will one day be no more, and you are worth the work it will take.
