I am a strong person. I can be a complete person on my own. My friendships/relationships add to my life, but they aren't my life.I am learning to be a healthy and whole person and I am working on having healthy relationships with others.
Time is my friend.

Dare to be empty?
Dare to be empty. Dare to let go. Dare to believe.--Elisabeth L.
Dare to be empty. This quote challenges me. Being empty is not what I intuitively want. It is what I struggle to not be. I try to fill my days with work, my evenings with friends, my weekends with activities, and my life with, well life. Being empty seems wrong to me. Why would I dare to be empty?
Dare to let go make sense. I hold onto people, the past and my job, things that are familiar. I hold on to what I know. So I can daring to let go. I can start looking forward to the future. I know I will be OK. I am strong enough to face whatever today or tomorrow brings.
Dare to believe may seem simple but if I ask myself why I haven't let go its because I don't believe. I don't believe in myself, other people or the unknown future. I want to know the end of the movie so that I can know the right thing to do today. I feel like I'm not ready for things, to let go, to be empty. Maybe it is that I don't believe that I'll be OK if I am empty.
So today, I will continue my process of trusting myself, believing in myself, letting go of things I can't control. I believe in me. I believe I am a strong person and I can face the unknown. I believe I can let go of the past. I believe I am strong enough to face the possibility of being empty. I will dare to be empty.
