Day 21: Regrets and Release – Things You Wish Were Different and Letting Them Go
Normally, I live life without regrets. For every action or decision, there’s always an equal and opposite reaction, consequences I’ve trained myself to face without flinching. I’ve made peace with the fact that life teaches us through both joy and pain.
But one recent incident has been living rent-free in my subconscious. It didn’t just sting, it left me with more questions than answers. I’ve grown to accept pain and hurt as necessary rites of passage—what I often call a baptism of fire. But imagine the twist of pain when the flames are lit, not by life or fate, but by someone who once was your place of peace, your calm, your safe space. Weird, right? 😅
Do I regret being baptized? Not at all. Fire refines. Fire reveals. But the part that hurts more deeply is knowing who struck the match. That knowledge burns in a different way, not one that purifies, but one that threatens to consume if you let it.
So, what now? Do I hold on to that pain, let it smolder in the corners of my heart? Or do I release it, not just for the sake of peace, but so I can make space for something new? Maybe even prepare for another baptism, this time not fire, but by growth, love, and clarity. Or maybe fire again 🤣💔
To anyone still holding on to pain, whatever form it takes please, let it go. Your healing won’t begin until you unclench your fists and release the weight. Yes, it hurts. But trust me, not as much as carrying it forever.
Letting go isn’t forgetting. It’s choosing you.
