It's time to move on

It's time to move on.
It's time to put Josh behind me and not look back.
It's time to accept who I am and stop apologizing for not being who I think I should be.
It's time to quit coping with life in all the wrong ways.
It's time to stop hurting myself any time I feel threatened or depressed.
It's time I start taking care of myself.
It's time I really try to figure out what I'm passionate about and seek after that.
It's time I come to terms with reality.
I cannot control what happens to me, but I can control how I respond to them.
I cannot control what has happened in my life, but I can no longer dwell on the bad things. I must use them to shape me into a strong woman.
Whether I like it or not, I am an adult. Soon, I will be on my own. I will be making my own life, making my own plans, following my own dreams. I cannot let fear prevent me from reaching my potential.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marriane Williamson
