Grieving Who I Used to Be

For some six or seven months, I have been grieving an old life that was not very productive. Memories, disappointments, shortcomings, disasters, tragedies, etc. all made a very unfulfilling existence.

You may wonder why I went for so long, some forty years or more, but my real life had to be revealed in such a way that I could not and would deny that it was all for my good. With all the unpleasantness consistently nagging me, my true character was developed. Yet and still I grieved as if they were my dearest friends. Actually, they were my enemy friends.

I grieved saying “goodbye” and continued my travelling upward to a very spacious and wealthy place of existence. I now know how to live this life in peace and harmony with myself. As it goes with all grieving processes, mine had to end and I guess I grieved that, too!

I understand where you are coming from. Sometimes we just have to allow ourselves to grieve, even if it is for certain things that we not as proud of. It's important to take that time and listen to yourself!
