46 Years To Let Go Of The Past… And In A Heartbeat, We Could Look Into The Future…

Let me share with you an important part of my journey.

We chose to be right over being happy, and over 46 years, we became strangers to one another!⠀
⠀
In the picture, it’s my mother and me. I hardly knew who she was for most of my life, only because of the resentment I held in my heart for having given me to foster parents when I was eight months old.⠀

I thought that by ignoring her, she could feel my pain, and instead, I was slowly dying inside while tearing both of us down.⠀
⠀
This picture was taken in Malibu, California, and it became the symbol of our time to heal and reconnect.⠀
⠀
It sure wasn’t easy at first as we both defended our views and positions inside our story. Still, everything started to change when we decided to choose happiness over being right and chose forgiveness over resentment, judgment, and anger!⠀
⠀
Today I have a mother, and she has her son back. She is 87, and I’m 51 years old. We can’t do anything about the past, but a hell of a lot about the future.⠀
⠀
Who could you decide to reconnect with today?

What pain are you holding on to out of resentment and anger that is slowly killing?⠀
⠀
Choose happiness over being right, trust me. Don’t wait 46 years to give both of you a chance to carry on with your lives!⠀

This was a short post and a glimpse into my life. Might it inspire upon you to never compromise happiness over being right.

And if you feel that holding on to being right is worth not reconnecting with an essential person in your life, then check in with yourself and ask yourself how you feel. Or how you have been feeling over the last few years because of it.
