This past weekend I went to Georgia to visit family and friends. As always I had a great time visiting everyone. On this particular trip I was reminded of how these trips often get me thinking. I find myself reflecting on various aspects of life.
This trip helped me to further flesh out this discovery of myself. It wasn't pretty and I didn't want to admit that I was allowing people from my past to have such control over my life, but I was. This made me angry at myself and made me realize that I was holding myself back. A harsh truth is that in order to have a healthy relationship you must be willing to open your heart to others. This runs the risk of getting hurt but it’s worth it. I can see that in my relationship with my husband. He is someone that I trust as much as I possibly can trust a person. I hope that this realization will help me with my new friends and old. It’s time to move forward. I don’t want the past to dictate my future anymore.

Do any of you struggle with opening up/trusting others? How did you/do you deal with this?

I love that first quote! It's sad but very true. The ones that are supposed to be so close to you and be there for you sometimes are the ones that hurt you the most.
ReplyDeleteGood series, looking forward to more.
