Walking down memory Lane

Have you ever been to a place you were at as a kid? A nostalgic place! Did you go back and revisit it? How did you feel? Were the memories happy? Did they leave you feeling warm? Well today I revisited a place I often visited as a child. Ive visited it before once but this time I was able to do it solo. 

Walking through this magnificent garden the thoughts flew through my head. Playing in the gezier, walking through the bridge house thing that reminded us of the headless horseman from sleepy hollow and being a family were such fond memories. And a little bit of a heartache because I longed for that. But as I walked through I started to have some intense thoughts. 

No one is like you. No one loves like you. No one thinks like you. No one acts like you. This began to resonate with me and put a lot into perspective. Do unto others as you wish done unto you is an unfinished statement. It should finish like this and don’t expect anything in return. We tend to think others know our boundaries, know what we need without words, and we put expectations on things. But today I was able to really resolve my expectations I put on others. That freed me, it allowed me to really understand that I have no control over anything except myself. With that I found peace. 

Have you ever been upset with someone else and expected them to know? Have you complained about something without talking to the person who you feel that way towards? What did that do for you? Did you get any resolve from it or did it keep stewing? Speaking your truth to the person will allow you to air your grievance and create a better relationship. Know that your feelings are yours and no one feels the way you do. We all experience emotions but the way we do is different. 

Today was a 7. I was able to let go during that walk.
