of pain, anger, hurt, angst, fear, etc. All of those annyoing -- tear at you -- feelings that make you hold back from really enjoying life and everything in it? Any thoughts?

P.S. I have a feeling I'll have some responses involving jumping out of an airplane!!!

Focus on the things you can change. The rest is just excess baggage.
As the Amish say; "Don't concern yourself with the affairs of the English."

This is all you need (other than jumping from an airplane of course)...

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart...forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

This is my mantra at the moment.
Lots of forgiving to do in my life right now...

I think true friendship is under-rated

My cousin gave me a book of daily readings by the Dalai Lama.

January 2nd had this:

"If you have fear of some pain of suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry."

I don't know... does that apply here?

I think there are two parts to the answer...

One, you have to realize part of life is having those feelings, angst, anger, and so on. If all you ever had was happiness and peace, there would not be challenges to overcome, and in the overcoming, the growth which occurs. That growth is vital to you and your life...for without it, we become stagnant and boring. Even happily bored is still bored.

The second part is to just let the past stay in the past, and move on from here. It's the most simple, difficult thing to do, but it's just that: it's in the past, it's not changeable, it's done and over with. It's in ago. Let it stay there. Change what you can in your own self about how you reacted to the circumstances, if necessary, so that the experience is not repeated...but you can't change the first experience. It's done with. And any emotional bullshit you still have about it is because you don't realize it's over and done with.

Let it be done with.

And then, of course, decide where to hide the bodies, and go make a jump.

Ciels-

Jumping out of an airplane is but a temporary thing. Come Monday, you are where you were on Friday.

In my experience, only time can do it. That's all. Time.

...do something more significant than whatever gave you pain, anger, annoyance, etc etc etc.

Helps me most of the time.
