I Learned To Let It Go

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, we reached the 200th post of the House of Huy. What an amazing milestone! For the 200th post, I must have written something meaningful to celebrate that journey. But as you know, the first Republican debate was the main story everyone was paying attention to. So, I had no choice but to write about the debate. I hope you have read that post. I cannot believe I can go this far with 200 posts, which seemed impossible because writing posts everyday is very difficult, and finding an interesting topic to write about is like Everest mountain.

Me and Poochi

The House of Huy right now has updated two more categories. “Analyzing Evil” and “Apple and Serpens.” In Analyzing Evil, I focus on evil people, who can be fictional or real, and events or objects that shocked everyone. With Apple and Serpens, it is all about sex, birds and bees. With two new categories, you will love them both like others. I want to share a bit about myself and how I am currently doing to celebrate a milestone.

As you know, a bad thing happened to me a few months ago, and it took me a journey to heal. That journey is not easy for me at all. I had to battle with many negative thoughts, fears, and myself. They were a big force; no matter how I tried to beat them, they would return stronger. But now, I am glad to tell you that I am completely healed and be myself again. How did I do it? It is very simple. I let it go. When you cannot hold on to something, you must let it go and move on. The past, the bad things, the misery, the bitterness, and many more. Why do we have to hold on to it and live with it? We understand that the more we hold on to it, the worse our lives will turn out to be.

Let it go. I consider what happened a few months ago one of the worst things that came to me. It hurt and tortured me every day. I was suffering the pain without knowing how to overcome it. It never happened in my life, and I never let it happen. But it still came after all. It was fate. I was so desperate that I didn’t know what to do next. Sometimes, a negative thought ran through my mind, and I wanted to do so. I didn’t have the guts to do it. So, there is only one option left. I have to find a way to recover. And the best way to do it is to choose me. I didn’t remember exactly when was the last time I spent time for myself, like driving to a new place, drinking a cup of coffee, shopping at the mall, and traveling. I decided to travel. I got that lousy thing off my mind. I tried to forget it. I tried to focus on myself. It worked. Until right now, I have somehow recovered. Not 100% recovered, but I got better. Last week, I finished the horror novel “It” by Stephen King. And one thing I learned from the book is that the only thing to defeat your fear is to face it. I realize I have tried to escape that bad thing, but I never thought of dealing with it once and for all. By this time, I decided to face it one time and finish it. I found the strength to continue and will surely defeat it this time. I want to spend this opportunity saying thank you to everyone who knows what happened to me and is always beside me to encourage me—my friends at CSUF, my family, and my close friends. And thank you to everyone who read my blog and supported my blog. Thank you so much. I will continue the journey with more posts, stories, and surprises.

“Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and slam the door”

It is from the song “Let It Go” in Disney’s Frozen. Yes, it is time for me to slam the door behind me and open a new door in front of me. I will make every day is a new day for me.
