Pearls Before Swine

Dear You,

I've been detaching myself from the noise inside my head, isolating and pushing people away. People have come and gone, leaving precious lessons that have humbled me and helped me become better at handling relationships. I've learned to put myself in others' shoes — to practice empathy, connection, and service to others. To feel what they feel. To become sensitive enough to accept, allow, and apply these lessons through action, becoming more loving and giving.

I now realize that other people are reflections of who we are in each moment. I used to be clingy, negative, anxious, and lost. What I sought was also seeking me, though I didn't notice it. I’ve learned to elevate, evolve, and integrate. Even conflicts carry tiny lights guiding us to see the bigger picture.

Now, I am calmer, more relaxed, and at peace with the experiences that have shaped me into an authentic and real version of myself. I am shedding my old self to become more open to accepting what I do not know, trusting uncertainty and the unknown. Is this what it feels like to surrender? To let go and stop controlling the natural flow of life?

I am shifting my thoughts toward empowering words and perspectives, handling my emotions with the tools I’ve learned. This is rewarding, and I am deeply grateful. It humbles me to remain open and sensitive, to consider what others feel. I align myself with the natural flow of life, trusting and letting go of what I cannot change.

I am thankful for the freedom and responsibility that come with assertiveness. This person may not realize the impact they’ve had on me, but I choose to be positive and embrace the humility they have taught me. So, I release and surrender. I accept and listen. Thank you. You serve my highest purpose.

May I continue to walk through life with ease, peace, joy, and grace. I appreciate you.
