- Womanhood gets too complicated sometimes
- You have to let go of people who don’t belong to you
(Two raw thoughts at the top of my mind right now)
I had an appointment this week with my therapist and she asked me to start journaling. I told her I had been journaling since I was 13 to deal with my emotions and thoughts inside my heart. My journaling journey began soon after my dad’s death, it was a lot of emotions all at once.
Anyway, that’s not what this writing session is about. Since I stopped journaling a few months/years ago when the anxiety was too much to deal with, I felt overwhelmed emotionally a lot. It was a different emotion every hour, so I never really knew what to write about.
This is why I was away from Medium for the entire 2023. Now that I am in therapy, and I feel sane enough to put my thoughts into words, I am learning to get into a habit of writing and journaling again.
Writing has been my best friend ever since I have known. Writing is a friend, a lover, that never leaves.
So back to the thoughts I had when I first opened my laptop today.
1. Womanhood gets too complicated sometimes
I don't have enough words to explain this thought. So I am just putting a screenshot of the song ‘Woman’s World’ by Little Mix here to summarize my feelings.
2. You have to let go of people who don't belong to you
I first had this thought when I was on my way home from work yesterday, and it has been in my mind since. Because you are not meant to be with people who don’t belong to you, you have to let them go once you have lived your time with them.
