On the drive home he played a song called "Bitter" and all the words were hitting a nerve deep within me but this line has stuck with me since...
"Sometimes things just happen in life that don't make any sense, but, bitterness is a choice"
See, I've been dealing with bitterness for a large portion of my sailing in the ocean of grief. I don't really know when I started letting bitterness steer me but it's been a struggle to not let it just take over completely.
Bitterness is a choice...
It's so much easier for me to be bitter than it is for me to find the positive and growth.
It's a struggle trying to take back over the battle between bitterness and joy... I know it's a long road but this song gives me a bit of gumption to try...
You are more on your way to healing when you face these negative emotions head on. Bravo for your courage, Vanessa! Praying for you!
