And, it couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’ve been navigating quite a bit on the personal front. What it really did was help me regain perspective when I needed it the most… Such a gentle yet powerful reminder of the beauty in surrendering control… https://youtube.com/shorts/ydCZS3Fmqjk?si=ysjz_aBc-3ZFVjKb “Just Let Them” by Cassie Phillips is a powerful and uplifting poem that speaks to the art of releasing control and finding solace in acceptance. With its graceful simplicity, the poem delivers a profound reminder to trust the choices and journeys of those around us, even when they differ from our own. Through its comforting tone, Phillips invites readers to embrace the freedom that comes with letting go—freeing both ourselves and others to grow, change, and thrive. It’s a poignant meditation on love, trust, and the beauty of allowing life to unfold naturally. “Just let them. If they want to choose something or someone over you, LET THEM. If they want to go weeks without talking to you, LET THEM. If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM. If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM. If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, LET THEM. If they want to follow the crowd, LET THEM. If they want to judge or misunderstand you, LET THEM. If they act like they can live without you, LET THEM. If they want to walk out of your life and leave, hold the door open, AND LET THEM. Let them lose you. You were never theirs because you were always your own. So let them.” The key takeaway is the profound wisdom in acceptance and letting go. Teaching us that growth, self-discovery, and transformation are deeply personal journeys, and imposing our expectations on others only creates resistance. “Let them show you who they truly are, not tell you. Let them prove how worthy they are of your time. Let them make the necessary steps to be a part of your life. Let them earn your forgiveness. Let them call you to talk about ordinary things. Let them take you out on a Thursday. Let them talk about anything and everything just because it’s you they are talking to. Let them have a safe place in you. Let them see the heart in you that didn’t harden. Let them love you.” — Cassie Phillips By “just letting them,” whether it’s making mistakes, pursuing dreams, or finding their path, we create space for authenticity, freedom, and deeper connections. This lesson extends to ourselves, encouraging self-compassion and trust in our own journey. Such a gentle yet powerful reminder of the beauty in surrendering control. It reassures us that by embracing acceptance and trusting the process of life, we can cultivate peace within ourselves and in our relationships. Phillips’ words leave readers with a sense of calm and a renewed perspective on the value of letting life unfold naturally.

I’m Derek, an avid football fan, biker, passionate photographer, addiction-recovery researcher and a diehard foodie. A man of faith too if I may add. God is central in my life and my writings veer towards that quite unapologetically. I write for therapy. For my own soul. My own healing. And hopefully, things that randomly cross my mind and get onto this blog will reach someone along the way and touch their lives as well. There's no way I'm having these random thoughts without some end purpose. The power of ONE! In a nutshell - it began with the #21DayChallenge back in March 2020 when India went into lockdown due to COVID-19. The challenge was to post daily for each day of the lockdown on anything related to the Coronavirus. I aced it but realised I enjoyed spreading joy and positivity the most in those 21 days. Since then I've continued to blog while trying to consciously spread some positivity in a world that desperately needs it right now. I'm passionate about God (I'm not religious), reaching addicts (been there, done that, know what it feels like, feel like I can help), animals, environment, sports (especially football and Chelsea) and cancer warriors (again, been there, done that, know what it feels like, feel like I can help). Though I've been blogging (ghostwriting) for a while now, mainly for clients, just felt like I had so much to say and this time of social distancing and self-isolation just gave me more time to take the plunge. Previously a PR Specialist, I began freelancing as a Copywriter and Social Media Manager in 2017 after a medical emergency left me homebound. In 2020 I started DW Consulting, a PR/Social Media Agency that brings together many of my passions including food and photography. So, presenting my personal blog to do just that - air my personal views! I hope you enjoy my very random insights and looking forward to your thoughts on them. God bless!

I kinda fancy my photography skills too 😜 One life, live it well! ✌️ View all posts by HelluvaLotToShare November 20, 2024 Leave a comment Blog, Blogger, blogging, blogging-community, Faith, God, letting-go, mindfulness, Poetry, Spirituality, Wellbeing Leave a comment Post navigation PreviousPrevious post: God Is In The Waiting: Finding Purpose in Life’s Pauses NextNext post: Christmas and Its Roots: A Non-Biblical Historical Journey Privacy & Cookies: This site uses cookies.
