Joann's life lessons

So here’s a question for you!  How many times have you or someone you know written letters to a past lover hoping to release past hurt only not to send them? I think many of us write letters to past lovers because we want to let them know how much they hurt us or just because we want to let go of all of the negative feelings we've held, inside for a long time.

How many times have you or someone you know made decisions purely based on emotions only to regret it at the end? That's actually something we all think about every day! Are some of us making decisions based on emotions solely or are we truly sure that the decisions we make are the right ones for us? We think that making decisions has to be based on emotions when the truth is that not all decisions have to be emotionally based, some decisions are also based on intuition, and what is right in front of us. 

What would you do if you finally decided to let your guard down only to realize that letting your guard down was one of the biggest mistakes you've ever made? I believe that the reason we let ourselves put our guard down again is because we hope that by letting our guard down we can rebuild a trust we once shared with the people who once meant the world to us,  but the reality is letting our guard down again can be a huge ass mistake especially when we know that the patterns are the same as before.

So here’s a question for you! Why does life's journey feel like such a roller coaster? Well, that's actually a good question!  I think the reason life's journey is such a roller, coaster is because no matter how many times we try to keep our lives steady, there's always going to be some obstacles that will keep us feeling like we're on a roller coaster. 

So let me ask you a question! How many of us try to let go of certain memories only to realize that some of those memories are what shaped us and made us strong enough to face any situation that is put in front of us? That's actually a very good question! How many of us try to let go of certain memories that helped us shape our resilience to face the grief that continues to haunt our souls? I think the reason we keep certain memories is because some of those memories helped to strengthen us, but at the same time some of those memories also caused heartache and pain.

So here’s something to think about! If you had the chance to reconnect with a loved ones would you take that chance or would you leave everything in the past? That's actually something I've been wondering for years! Would I reconnect with a loved one from my past? I think if we could reconnect with loved ones we probably wouldn't be able to truly connect with them the way we used because of betrayal.
