Drop Dead Diva

I’ve been watching this show called Drop Dead Diva. In short Deb had a super model body and died but in heaven hit the return button and came back to earth but into Jane’s body, a lawyer. Jane is a bigger girl and didn’t really have a diet or fashion since. Jane had hired Grayson, Debs boyfriend, when Deb had passed away. Jane is Deb and so she wishes she could tell Grayson that she is alive but in reality its just Deb’s soul, she looks nothing like her. She is holding on to the past.

This one episode I watched this morning was about a guy who everyone thought had died in a plane crash 9 years ago but they never found a body. The wife had a son while he was gone and later fell in love with another man and she wanted a divorce from her old husband. During the trial her husband showed up. He wanted to know his son but she had never told their son about his real father. She didn’t want to mess up his “new” family. So eventually the husband realized that he needed to move on in life because it was time to let it all go.

Then I decided to write a blog on moving forward in life. This isn’t going to turn out like my original plan but it’s something to blog about.

When you are becoming a teenager you have to let go of your childish acts. You need to grow up and take hold of who you are becoming to be. Even though holding on to your old self is a lot more comforting you just don’t really have a choice.

The next one is going from High School to College. You have to now rely on yourself and not hope your parents help you all the way. You have to become another person and be more like a grown up. Making bigger decisions and taking things seriously.

Finally the biggest one of all, I think is becoming a wife/husband. You now have to think about two people, not just yourself. You aren’t a single person anymore. I think that is the hardest thing to let go of. Your life has to change. You need to let go of the past. You’re moving on to a different chapter and not everything can come with you. I think this is the best change ever but sometimes is a challenge. You need to work together with your partner for the rest of your life. You need to both be on the same page. You need to care for their feelings and take care of one another. I am glad I made that decision to change and let the past fall away.

You can also include becoming a mother/father. You now have little ones to take care of and teach all things to. You need to protect them and be examples. Now I know I occasionally will think there is no way I could do all that. But once you have that child your world just automatically changes. They rely on you to keep them alive. I know that it’s something I could do because of the partnership I created with my spouse and the things I’ve learned from my parents and siblings. I think it will be the next wonderful change of moving to the next stage of life. Moving on and accepting the change.

The End =]

Let the past go because now is here!
