This is something we should all do from time to time;)
We accumulate things, friends/contacts, emotions, habits.
Sometimes we don't even realise how overflowing , crowded and limited our spaces, mind, emotions and time get as a result.
Just like a good spring clean , when you unpack those cupboards and get rid of junk and things in drawers you have not worn or used in a long time, the same should be done with the rest of your life.
Let go of people, things, habits, thoughts , emotions that don't add value to your life.
Taking stock of where you are in life, where you came from and where you are heading and editing out people, things, habits and emotions don't support or value you, should be done often.
Editing your life should not mean to just cut out or throw out. Just taking stock and rearranging how you allow people, things, emotions and how they fit into your life is often enough to make positive changes as to how you deal with it.
Be a better version by keeping your edits real and embracing changes as a result.
Thank you @missRed...
Sometimes it's so nice to jump on the forum and be surprised that someone is going through exactly the same things you are at the moment and I almost cried.
Editing in progress I must admit that it's been sooo damn hard hey. But at the end of the day one has to look at what is best for future and take the bull by its horns.
Moral of my story.. travel lightly (well as light as possible anyways ;) but always stay true to who you are and what you stand for I guess.
Best things in life don't come easy they say haha
Take care beautiful people

Well written, sometimes one has to take stock and let go of things and people that weigh one down.
It is often harder to let people go but some need to go - even 'friends' for real friends are not a burden but wind beneath your wings....
That is true. To many people out there posing as friends taking up time and space that you can dedicate to true and real friendships.
This post was by no means just about friendships but about emotions.
I spoke to a friend that went through a bad divorce. She is allowing that to still control her thinking and way of life, 10 years after.
We need to let go of those emotions to live in the present and not forever dwell on the past. It is done, let it go, holding on to all that will make you sick, mentally and physically.
Yes I know it takes time, and you have a right to grieve and be mad. But your being misrable all the time about something that can't be undone , fixed or changed won't benifit you in anyway. You need to set a time limit on those feelings and start living again.

Sometimes we decide to pick up a proverbial rock and carry it with us. The other person does not know we carry this rock and all it does is wear one down while the other person lives life.
Best not to carry rocks that add no value....

@NickyBlue...thank you... Btw..lovely profile photos ;)
Thankyou Miss Red
Plus it took easy 3-4 years till the kids stopped singing it at every freaking instance after the movie came out.
Thanks a lot!(just kidding).
Well thanks Forsyth
now its stuck in my head.( No kidding)
This made me think of xmas holidays too.. cant believe its almost that time again.
What are you doing this xmas holidays?
Are you buying loads of presents?
Are you doing those big xmas home made lunches or eating out in xmas day?
How had xmas holidays traditions changed for you?
My xmas holidays traditions had drastically changed from time my kids where smaller to now.
No more buying loads of xmas presents, no big home cooked xmas lunches.
This year i havent even put up a tree,last year I still had a tiny one.
Think this year i will go have lunch somewhere where i can see the ocean and after maybe handout a few small Pnp vouchers to those that dont have houses or families to go to on xmas day.
(I dont have tons of money to give away but i did save a bit by mot buying xmas decorations ir presents or inviting people over for xmas lunch so i should be able to buy a few small vouchers should be enough for them to go buy a got plate of food at a PnP on xmas day)
