What Did You Leave behind this Year and why?

I forgot to seek everyone’s approval.

I forgot to worry about my wrinkles.

I forgot to obsess over saving more money.

I forgot about winning every argument.

I forgot about chasing people who didn’t deserve my time.

I forgot about fitting into my old jeans.

I forgot to like everyone who smiled at me.

I forgot to join every conversation.

I forgot to fear that my daughter might never get married.

I forgot to believe my son would stay with me forever.

I forgot all of this because I am human.

And yes — I forgot that I wasn’t born in the U.S.I forgot the bullies.

I forgot the man who never loved me.

I forgot the friend who betrayed me — and learned she passed away.

I forgot to ask my husband for his password.

I forgot that someday we will all die.

What did you forget?
