I Need To Let Go In Order To Live

2012 sucked for me! Had a minimal job. Lost that minimal job. Had an affair with my ex. Been unemployed. Got a job and got fired again. Had many verbal disagreements with my current boyfriend. I admitted that I cheated on him. Yeah. Very bad year. In order for me to move on I need to make inner peace with myself and others. I need to have people forgive me for my misgivings. I need to forgive myself. And, I need to forgive others as well. This year is almost over and I want to start fresh. I need to do this in order to be happy and let go. How say y'all?

Hello there Bluebell18! What a story that you had shared! :) I like the thing that you admitted your mistakes. Accepting one's fault and failures and hard but you had admitted it and you are making something to change it. I agree that we should have inner peace in order to move on with our daily activities in life. Goodluck on 2013 and your fresh start! What matters most is acceptance and moving on.

Providing we can actually learn from our mistakes then it isn't always wasted. Life is about making mistakes, accepting we made mistakes and learning from them, unfortunately experience comes at the wrong end of life. This year wasn't great for me because I lost a friend, we had been together for 9 years but it was me doing all the giving and she was doing all the taking and I couldn't compete against her fascination for Facebook. But tomorrow is a new day, a new page, we can move on, we cannot change the past but we can use it to make a better tomorrow.

whoa , you have got issues..sounds to me like the operative word seems to be " i need to..." reading your statements i was practically expecting the word "But" to wrap up your phrases ,although didn't see the word , yet the sense of it being there is strong . As for losing a minimal job, isn't it a minimal job to begin with so why weep over something so minimal...and also there has to be a time when he was not yet your ex and both of you guys must have had some thing good going on,to be together, a very overpowering physical thingy perhaps that lingers still and you couldnt help yourselves, for old times sake, i admit i do feel for your current guy, probably feels betrayed and hurt,but since you have confessed , at least shows respect of his feelings, give him a bit of time, bruised egos need that to heal, you can help the process by massaging it occasionally..And No More invisible "BUTS" ...wondered if you noticed in your post , you seem to have the answers already, knowing how you should be feeling and what you ought to be doing, Just go for it..!

I'm sorry you had such a bad year! I did too. My husband got hurt at work and was out of work for a year, he had surgery and physical therapy, we had to deal with workers comp and lawyers, we had financial problems due to him being out of work, we had to get another lawyer for his traffic ticket... Just not a good year! I am glad it is almost over and I pray next year is so much better!! I hope your new year will be a good one also.
