Life Without Baggage


Another chapter of my life came to a close as another year greeted me with open arms. Everything felt like a dream to me since time goes by so quickly. As I prepare for a fresh beginning, I pondered on the many events that have taken place inside 2021. Many realizations came over me that showed me how grateful I should be for the past years since I was able to endure all of the challenges and pain that had occurred in the past. Some people had to go through their troubles alone and suffer many times, however, I am blessed to have my family lighten the burden I am straining to carry, and I have a strong bond with God and the people around me. Offering myself the freedom to forget the heinous events of the past is my way of allowing myself to breathe and embrace a new phase of life devoid of grudges. Spreading forgiveness has been tough for me in recent years, but as I have lived day by day, I discovered that forgiving is not about condoning the mistakes done against you, but rather about releasing yourself from the fury and agony that you have been experiencing at that time.

 

I am confident in saying that I am grateful for everything and that happiness is really what I felt on the last day of 2021 since I am well aware that whatever happens the following day is the outcome of my actions. Sure, it's frightening to not know what's going to happen next, but allowing yourself to be courageous will show you that the unknown is nothing to be afraid of; rather, it's something we must explore and discover. Starting a new year, in my standpoint, is about beginning a new chapter in your life without any unnecessary grudges, fear, or unpleasant memories; in my own words, it is about beginning life without baggage.
