I don’t know why we call the hard things we go through, “Emotional Baggage.”
Or a “Burden”
As if it’s something we need to get rid of.

What if we just acknowledged that at some point in our lives this was our true selves?
And we didn’t know any better.

We grow and learn every day,
So we don’t react to the same stuff in the same way,

Sometimes it may feel as if we’re frozen ,
And that nothing’s changed.

However, if we think deeply about how far we’ve come,
We’ll find that we don’t need to keep fighting the battles of our past.

We just need to forgive ourselves,
To have a little faith that life is a constant change,
And we somehow manage to learn to change with it.
