I’ve spent a lot of time unpacking my thoughts and
feelings about people throughout my life.
I used to let folks take advantage of my
nonconfrontational personality and let it slide.
But the more I think about the energy I spent
venting to loved ones and acting like I had to repent,
I realize the older I get that bad habits snowball and
lead to an overall miserable time.
I used to hold on to a lot of emotions and
let them eat away at me bottled up inside.
All of this I’ve been slowly working through under the lockdowns,
and in the long run I know that I’ll be alright.
It’s just a long time coming,
reaffirming that I’m walking the right path before I go to sleep at night.
A rose in Eden. One by one, the petals fall. The ground is stained red.
