I have difficulty letting go; whether it’s of past events, emotional pain, or of physical belongings. Sometimes, I go through a phase where I will just clean, purge and donate almost everything away. But I feel like it’s an endless cycle; of accumulating memories, feelings, belongings, then having to purge and clean them all over again.
And then a new cycle returns, so this cycle just keeps going on, and on, and on….
When I listen to this song, it inspires me to Let it be, and just let it go, so that I can be free and happy again. Letting go is just a matter of choice. For some, it takes a lifetime of trying, but at the end, they still cling onto the past with hurt, resentment and regrets. For others, it takes just one split second of making that decision to let go, and in that instant, they’ve let the past go.
Let It Be
The Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree There will be an answer, let it be For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me Shinin’ until tomorrow, let it be I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
When I first heard this song, my interpretation of it was of releasing your constraints in life. Live a life where you know of no boundaries. Dream Big, as even the sky can not limit you. We are living in a universe amongst many other universes. Our thoughts create our reality.
My other interpretation of this song is of World Peace. There is still so much that I have to learn, and so much inner work that I still need to do in order to improve myself, and my attitude towards humanity. But I do know this, I long for world peace. I long for heaven on earth. I long for a world where we all love each other and trust each other. I long for Nirvana.
Imagine
Song by John Lennon
Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope some day you’ll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I hope some day you’ll join us And the world will be as one
I have been hurt from love so many times in the past. And it’s all sorts of love, not just romantic love. There’s family love, parental love, siblings love, friendships love, colleagues love, animals love, romantic love, and the love of mankind.
I have been betrayed by love so many times in my life. Felt like my heart was pierced by a knife, with a piece of it ripped out of me.
But all wounds heal with time. It may take a long time to heal, and there may be a scar left. However, with forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and kindness, I can finally look at that scar with understanding of the truth, and no longer feel the pain.
The Rose
Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love, it is a flower And you, its only seed
It’s the heart, afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It’s the dream, afraid of waking That never takes the chance It’s the one who won’t be taken Who cannot seem to give And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed that with the sun’s love In the spring becomes the rose
I am so thankful and grateful for all of the Love that I receive from the Universe, from my Family, my Relatives, my Friends, and from Life in general!
I may not be the healthiest, wealthiest and most well-loved person on this earth. But in comparison to a lot of other people, I have a lot!
Happiness comes from within yourself. It’s how you feel towards your own reality. I create my own reality, and it is one filled with love, health, wealth, joy, luck and happiness! 😀

My first childhood love played this song for me in his car, while he caressed my body and kissed me all over. We met each other in high school. I was in girls high, and he was in boys high. His sister, my classmate and friend, introduced me to him. We attended the high school dance together. Our first names rhyme, so my classmates used to tease me and sing ‘Helen and ______ sitting in a tree, K__I__S__S__I__N__G’! We had an innocent and sweet love.
We reunited shortly by chance when I was in university. He is a passionate and romantic person. But for some reason, I was unable to accept his love back then.
If I had chosen him, instead of my medical school boyfriend, then I don’t think I would have been in a long-term abusive relationship. I may have even married him, have three kids, and perhaps, even ten grandkids by now. Who knows?
The Twelfth of Never
You ask how much I need you, must I explain? I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain. You ask how long I’ll love you; I’ll tell you true: Until the twelfth of never, I’ll still be loving you.
Hold me close, never let me go. Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.
I’ll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom; I’ll love you till the clover has lost its perfume. I’ll love you till the poets run out of rhyme, Until the twelfth of never and that’s a long, long time.
I often neglect my inner child. When she comes to me with issues, I’ll either say to her “I’m busy right now”, or “I don’t think this is such a big deal”. I think this is why I have auto-immune issues. My inner child finally had it with me one day and decided to self-destruct, and take me along with her.
What do you do when your own body sees you as an enemy and attacks you? If you take immunosuppressive drugs, then external pathogens will take over your body instead.
I am also accident-prone and hurt myself on a constant basis. After starting on the path of self-development; every time I accidentally hurt myself, I will gently stroke where it hurts, comfort my inner child, and say to her “I’m so sorry baby. I’m so sorry baby”. I think my inner child is fed up with me though, since I get hurt so often. She’s trapped inside a clumsy body…
We don’t have much in common. We don’t share an emotional connection. But it was time for me to settle down. I told dad I don’t feel that he is my true love… Dad told me that sometimes the person you marry is not necessarily the person you love the most. I listened to dad, and it was time for me to settle down, so I took the plunge…
Many many years later, we’re still together. I believe (or at least I would like to) that we do love each other. However, we have not been in love with each other for many years now. We’re more distant than roommates are with each other. We hardly talk, and we don’t connect on an emotional level. We still don’t have much in common after all these years …
As miserable and trapped as I feel, I would like to believe that he feels the same way as well. There’s a saying, that if the shoe does not fit you, then give it someone that it does fit to enjoy instead. With him, I will forever feel like I’m Cinderella, because I can not fit into this glass slipper. Yet, I still hold onto it…. Is it time to let it go? Can I find the glass slipper that fits me so that I can turn into a fairytale princess?
I think I had met two romantic soulmates in my life. One, was never meant to be. The other, we were so close, yet so far apart. We were so close to getting married. One night, after a night of passion, he said to me ‘Let’s go now. Let’s go to Vegas now and get married’. I didn’t think that was the ‘proper’ way to get married, so I said ‘No’. I said that I wanted the whole nine yards; the diamond ring, the engagement, the wedding, all of that….. If I had said ‘Yes’, then perhaps we’d still be together now? Perhaps, we would have been able to work through all of our issues together?
