Lingering

I like closure. Finality. For things to be over or to be new. For things to be constant or to just not be at all. I like for things to be 100% black or 100% white. So you know where that leaves me most of the time right? ................Short.

There's a little situation that has been lingering in my life for the past three months. And I hate it. The thing is, I can't control it. I can't do a darn thing about it and at times I pout like a 2 year-old over it. Oh, don't you judge me! I hear your thoughts.

I thought you liked closure, Toi.

You said you like finality and all that good stuff.

Well, I do. And I've tried to obtain closure. I've tried to bring things to either an end or a new beginning. But my attempts haven't been too successful. And I'm on the verge of entering the danger zone. The I-don't-care-anymore zone. And that's dangerous for me because once I go there...oh, it's hard to come back.

So, a word of advice to us all. Don't allow things to lingerin your life any longer than necessary. If someone is trying to resolve an issue with you, let them. If you need to resolve an issue with someone else, do it! Don't linger 'cuz when you do, the next step is indifference.

You're more than welcome William. I just try to take the lessons I'm learning along the way and share them with the community.

These words with regards to issues in our lives that are lingering, and how we need to try to resolve them was helpful to me as I read them today.

Thanks
