SETTING YOURSELF FREE...

As a woman who couldn’t use her voice in fear of what others thought and thinking it’s easier to just ignore it and sweep it all under the rug, to stepping into becoming the woman who now isn’t afraid to use my voice, over the years it’s seen me write messages, letters and have the hard conversations. Finding it in me to express myself through my voice has seen me heal & strengthen relationships, has seen me loose relationships and has also seen some just not interested in what I have to say. About 3 months ago I reached out to an old friend who kept popping into my mind. Our friendship ended about 15 years ago and the older I got the more I felt pulled to reach out. I felt I had a responsibility to address the part I played in the break down of our friendship and apologise for the pain & hurt I had caused her. For me I wasn’t expecting for anything in return from her, it was simply just doing what I felt was the right thing to do, to apologise and to also forgive myself for my part in it. We all have a part to play in every relationship we enter into, be it with family, friends or intimate relationships…it’s always a two way street. Not everyone will see it your way or why we may do what we do at the time and that’s ok. But to be able to really move on and do all you can to make things right as best you can, sets you free in the end. I was able to re-connect with her, which I’m so grateful to her for accepting my request to be able to send my message, say my peace and wish the best for her. In the end, the outcome was no message in return and unfriending me again. And that’s ok. The door is completely closed, I accept that and still wish her nothing but the best. Never be afraid to express yourself and put things right as best you can. So much freedom comes from it.
