Version 2.0

So I just got back from a silent retreat in Bali with my girls. Spent a lot of the time just reflecting and thinking and you know, just looking back on stuff that happened recently and also over the past year or so. Being out in the nature and close to the jungle and padi fields is beyond AMAZING!

Today’s Monday and I finished work with a full zen and sense of calm that seemed to have evaded me for the longest time. I had always been searching for this calm over the past almost 10 years since he appeared in my life and complete peace was never able to find me after. 

I have learnt so much in the past 2 months that my entire perspective on life, love, work has changed radically - I am superbly grateful for this experience! 
The retreat has been so good for me, I need to make this a regular thing maybe return yearly to this sanctuary! 

I release and let go because it’s too short to justify anything and we both don’t want to chase after each other. If it was even meant to mean anything, more effort would definitely be in order...
It’s ok - it feels like we hardly knew each other and yet saw the worst that can exist in each other - and if you can accept it and be okay with it... that’s probably when the good stuffs start coming along.

In a relationship, you need to fully be in tune with your feelings and be able to articulate feelings well to each other. Being able to work together on it is so important.  
It is ok to move on, but that it’s such a waste because personally I know it could be so much more and probably we would  be good for each other whether as friends or whatever and I just think there were so much left unsaid and that’s what gets to me - we both hardly had a chance on it. 

I let go because... it’s okay to let go when the other person is just being a complete rock or angry person to shut down emotionally about the situation. And without even having a conversation to properly close the chapter even. I cannot force what doesn’t come naturally. Have always known that. Such is life.

In Version 2 of Cecilia,  I don’t carry weights or heavy things anymore, I let that bad stuff go so I can make room for the good stuffs. 

The peace that is on my mind now is way more important than anything else. And I am sure you agree.
