Deletion

My name is Jense.
I just went through and deleted some older posts.
Shocked? Me too. I didn't think that I really would. I thought maybe it was necessary to keep all the posts that I've written. I mean, these posts have been who I was and am from the beginning of this year. So shouldn't I keep a record?
But, I deleted some. Particularly the ones that made me the most sad or angry.
Ya, you can look. I know there are still some there.
I kept those cuz those are the major ones. The ones that really show my progression.
Life is so unfigureoutable, isn't it? It starts out one way, then throws a fast one at you.
And you're never ready for the fast one.
And so, you make dumb mistakes. Or get hurt. Or hurt others.
Life is so unfigureoutable. We think we are one way, then we find out that we've been wrong.
And then you realize just how much you really did not know about yourself.
Life is so unfigureoutable. It's hard to figure out how to let go of the past. Of the people of the past. Of the past YOU.
And so, you hold on to it. The grudges. The memories. The sorrow. It drags you further and further down.
Life is so unfigureoutable.
Cuz Life is always changing.
And you have to change with it.
But Life is figureoutable in one aspect:
                                         MAN ARE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE JOY.
Joy. Happiness. Goodness.

But why would I want to keep a record on the things that make me sad?
There are still older posts. The ones that are sad. But they helped create the ME that I now AM.
I deleted the sorrow from my blog.
I'm deleting the sorrow from my life. Starting now.
Live. Laugh. Love.
