Life in the "screw it" zone
My newfound attitude of "screw it" is strangely freeing and helpful. I find myself living one moment at a time, accepting the things I cannot change, and feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time. This is not to say that I don't recognize how much my life sucks right now. Instead I stop obsessing and worrying and shaming myself over what I have no control of whatsoever. It's hard to let go. I'm not a "I quit" person. But laying it all down helps me realize there is absolutely nothing I can do right now. I might have moved on in my grief to the stage of acceptance... but let's not jinx it.

Yaaaaaayyyyy! Radical Acceptance is not only a great book, but a very liberating way to live.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you're there! (Or if not there, getting closer!)
ReplyDeleteAnd as a control person I have to admit I'm deeply impressed with your new theory on life. I wish I had the courage sometimes to do it!
