The Bomb Life 101: The Art of Letting Go; If It Causes you Pain, Say GOODBYE!

Yesterday, I declared that I was going to leave the hurt behind in 2016.

This year has been all about growth, evolution, and also recognizing what things and people cause me stress or pain. And instead of hold onto them because of residual benefits, I looked at the overall picture. I thought: does this person or situation stress me out? Bring negativity? Cause me to grimace or roll my eyes? If the answer was yes, I told myself, “You know what? Life is too short.” As K Camp would say, “It ain’t nothing to cut that *ish off.” (I’m from Atlanta, so sue me).

This goes for people, places, and things. Though I love a beautiful shoe, why hold onto them if I feel as if my toes are bleeding every time I put them on? Just so they can look good for a picture? Helllll naw! I am a business woman and need shoes that are practical and functional so that I can think clearly. So even though it pained me to put my So Kate’s and Zanotti’s on Claire’s Closet yesterday, I did it! Because I’m tired of complaining about things that I can change by just letting them go.

This year, I’ve said goodbye to people I loved who brought me down more than building me up, people who brought gossip, stress, and confusion. Your energy and mental health are sacred. So are your feet! Protect them.

Love & Light!
