Letting Go Of The Past Lyrics by Jetpack Jay

2019

It's simple - We're the one's holding ourselves back with past events we still carry on our backs. The past is a story we keep re-reading day in and day out. Nothing changes because we're stuck in the same chapter. So if we want for things to change, we got to drop the past and turn the page.
Again it's simple and I do understand and believe this to be true, yet dropping the past is probably the hardest thing I've ever attempted to do.
Simple doesn't mean easy and just because something is easy doesn't mean that it's going to be simple.
I've dropped some of my past but if I'm honest I'm still struggling to release the rest that is stuck within me. These old outdated beliefs about myself aren't easy to replace. We tend to relive our past on a daily basis because that's not only how we've learned to function but also to survive. But what used to once serve me is now holding me back. I don't see the same me anymore when I look into the mirror. Honestly, I'm not yet sure what or who it is that I'm seeing but I'm sure it isn't what it used to be. I actually got a feeling it's something better and this is where I am holding myself back, because I do not believe to deserve the good that I am starting to see in myself yet. It's a weird feeling. I am excited one moment, yet sad in the next because I can feel myself dying. Not in the literal sense but in a transformative way. The old me is fading and with her the way she's lived and handled life. It's a scary process because right now I find myself in the middle, in the middle of who I used to be and who I'm becoming. Sometimes I cry and I'm honestly not sure why, but I think I'm griefing myself and that's the thing. Letting go is not just releasing what happened to you and forgiving the people involved, it's a death of yourself. It's a painful journey because you're not just gonna give yourself up without resistance. You're not going down without a fight. But I'm learning that you can't struggle yourself out of struggle. You'll eventually find yourself in a corner with no space to even breathe. You have to learn to relax out of struggle. I am changing, that's life and since I can't do anything against the flow of life, I might as well learn how to flow with it. I'm not the best at it yet, I still find myself under water more times than not but I trust this process, I just need to keep reminding myself of it. This happens for me, not to me.
And even though this part of my journey feels absolutely uncomfortable, I feel a sense of inner peace because I know that this is right. I'm somewhat grateful for my growing pains. I don't know where all of this will take me but I know that I'll arrive. I might be in the middle of a storm right now but this too shall pass. I might be walking through a valley now but I am not alone, cause I know God got me. So I will keep on walking in faith. I may not see the next step but I believe it to be there.
''If he brings you to it, he'll bring you through it.''
And since I asked to be made an instrument of his peace, I trust him to bring me through this mess.
No weapon formed against me shall prosper, that's his promise.
So my promise is to keep on walking, further away from who I used to be
and closer to who I'm supposed to be.
