So many thoughts...

on trust and believing in myself...

I was thinking about one beautiful song that has now been fulfilled within me...

One of these days I'm gonna love me
And feel the joy of sweet release
One of these days I'll rise above me
And at last I'll find some peace
And then I'm gonna smile a little
And maybe even laugh a little
But one of these days...
I'm gonna love me

When i realized years ago that this needed to happen, that I needed to love myself, i had no idea where this journey would take me. I am so thankful for all that I am learning. I love me. That's a wonderful, peaceful feeling....

I also want to talk a bit about trust... Trusting in other people is something I have had a tendency to do. My whole realm of thinking in this has been skewed. I have certain ideals that i expect others to fulfil, which are pretty extensive, to be truthful. And then, if (when) someone steps out of what one expects, they have let us down...

So i am working on obliterating the ideal of trusting others from my brain, and trusting in myself and allowing others to be who they are, while allowing me to be who I am. It's going well so far, and pretty exciting, actually...

The idea of trusting others is actually one key ingredient that has caused past failure in previous relationships in my life...

It's amazing all of the changes that are transpiring...
