learning to let it go

i am trying really hard today to try and let something go.

it's hard.

i was recently told a re-cap of a conversation that was indirectly about me and the conversation hurt my feelings. the short of it was that there was a chance for someone to acknowledge me and who i am and well that didn't happen. 

but i wasn't there. this is a third hand report. and yet, it sticks with me. 

i hate that. 

i have been reminded that it really has nothing to do with me but it certainly feels that way. 

so you know what i am going to do? for a short time i am actually just going to feel this feeling of sadness and then i will acknowledge and put it to rest. 

i know ultimately it is important to let it go but first i must feel my feeling.
