#lookingforwards

Boxing Day, Howden, East Yorkshire, England.

The strangest feeling of release

When walking out today -

A quiet, visceral thrill of liberation:

Not quite a Christmas Day ‘escape’,

It's more 'I'm free at last

From the weeks and weeks

Looking forwards means not giving in or up, it’s also telling the universe we’re taking control of our issues, and of our life. It puts us in a healthier head space, as long as we’re not looking forwards to ignore the past on the things we have to deal with.

It means we’re mentally and emotionally in tune with ourselves. When we presently live life, it’s showing others our life matters and we count. It means we’re looking at the distance in the direction we’re intending to go, but it’s important that before we do that, we make sure that what’s behind us is clear.

In other words, we’re comfortable with our choices up to that point of looking forwards. It means moving on, closing the door. If there are skeletons in our past, looking forwards will never be able to stop those skeletons coming back.

do something. anything anything anything. channel your energy towards something instead of sitting paralyzed in fear. anxiety won’t move if you won’t

stop destructive cycles: stop doing things that make you feel bad / are not getting you where you want to be. it’s literally not worth it. focus on what makes you happy n powerful n strong

remember: you are not that important. you are important, but not so much that every word you utter or write has to be nobelprize worthy. if it comes from you its already perfect, just let yourself be, no one can be you but you and you are so worthy. tiny steps are necessary to move towards bigger things

record everyday things & cherish them. they may seem small and unimportant now but you will want to remember and not let another year go by in a haze.
