How To Let Go Of Your Past To Make Room For Your Future Self.
Have you ever felt misplaced in your past and desperately searching for solutions and answers that seem impossible to find?
Today marks the day I decided to drop out of one of my city’s most prestigious schools. I felt unstoppable and smart, and my future felt bright.
However, my spark quickly lit out when I started to fail all my classes.
I did not know why I was failing.
I used to be a top student.
I was used to getting A marks because I worked hard for them, but now I studied hard without getting academic validation in return.
I felt defeated.
It’s tempting to recall our bad moments.
However, we often hold onto it too tightly and not realizing the damage it can do to our sense of self-worth.
Then I remembered: change can not be done in the same place.
Meaning, I knew I had to change in some shape or form to get rid of my problem.
Therefore, I decided to switch schools, which turned out to be the best decision ever.
I was back on track again and realized that I wasn’t the problem…I was just in the wrong place, a place where I did not serve my purpose.
