Family

So this weekend my family and I went to my cousins baby shower, and I was pretty excited but hesitant  to go. Sometimes our judgment is clouded by experiences that happened in the past, and that is what I have been holding on to for the longest. There was so much resentment in me because of the way I was treated by my family, and it really made me bitter about my family at times. However, I learned that people do weird things because of their customs or because they feel it is the right thing to do. It was amazing to see my family after all these years and leave that resentment behind, and enjoy the sweet gift of life. Sometimes we have to be the better person and leave the past in the past and write a new future for the future generation so they won't make the same mistakes we have made. It is amazing to see all these new additions to the family and all the LOVE that they give us with no prejudice or judgment. They look at us with innocent eyes, and yearn for us to hold them, and love them. That is why I want to leave the past behind, and write a new chapter for the future of my nieces, nephews, cousins...because it is important to set that example for them, so they can see the change that they can do in this future. Let Go, and Let God.
