Do you live your life thinking, "Well if I can just make it through ___ then ____ will be better." Do you live thinking about how things just never go right? If I had this, then I could. do that. Well maybe tomorrow...then...
Stop it. Real talk.
Just stop it. You are missing the life that is front of you right now.
So when I started thinking about ways to really move past this trauma, I was reminded of how often the Leah of the past was not living in the present. I was never living in the now. I was too busy trying to control things. I was too busy focusing on the hardships.
Life beyond seems like an oxymoron, right? That's the point. I'm learning how to look forward, look ahead, but also focus on the moment at hand. Savor the moment. We can only truly get beyond the past if we remain present in the now.
