But then, without those endings, I never would have learned lessons which needed to be learned in order to move forward. Without those endings, I may have clung to outworn and unhealthy things, places, and people, and never would have given something better a chance. Without those endings, I could be right back where I originally started... my first beginning in this life.
Thanks, I'd rather not go there.
Everything that has brought me here, to this point in my life, has had to end in order for me to learn and grow, and to become a better person and to live a better life. It's only now that I'm starting to realize that some endings are blessings in disguise. Without them, things would remain the same. I used to try to resist change as much as possible, mainly out of fear. The only place that got me was a place called Nowhere. It wasn't until my grandmother told me that if I didn't try to let go and stop clinging to the only life I had ever known, then I would never know if there is anything better... there would never be a new beginning.
I am now at a new beginning... a time of renewal, ideas, happiness, and hope. And all that I have endured and lived through so far has given me the tools that I need at this phase. I'd be a liar if I said that I have no fears. Changes can be scary. But I am choosing now to embrace that, keep my heart open, and take another step forward on my path.
