A hilarious friend posted recently on facebook, using over-plucked eyebrows as a metaphor for learning to accept the way things are, letting it go, and moving the hell on with your day/life.
For some reason that hilarious anecdote stuck with me and really made me take a look at what I was holding onto; things I knew I was holding on to and just not dealing with.
Sometimes what you are holding onto and back from the one person you need to share it with only makes you feel worse. Even when you are trying to not hurt someone’s feelings, holding onto it will bring you down and begin to hurt you.
I took my friend’s Facebook, and other trusted friend’s (and favorite author’s) advice, and finally dealt with what I needed to. And as cliche as it is- I felt like a giant weight was lifted off my shoulders. I might have to go throw-up now because its still a huge change and scary and all that. But at least my eyebrows aren’t over-plucked.
