On letting go and moving on

I often trap myself with unnecessary negative feelings. Hate, annoyance and dislike really aren't emotions that can help me go through life. And sometimes these emotions take over me to the point that I would strongly go against something that I disapprove of.

And I'm tired of that kind of life.

I'm tired of going through the cycle of getting caught up in the middle of hate. At first it feels good to hate on something, to put down what I deem immoral or just plain annoying. I joined anti-clubs of all kinds, entered forums where similar people hate on the same subject and even posted long rants about said target of annoyance. It felt good to be able to connect to other people even if it was through a negative emotion.

Then I realized just how silly I am for hating a person, thing or something that I really have no personal connection with. These feelings of hatred chained me down rather than set me free. This feelings choking me rather than helping me to be a person who can be herself. I whine and complain about things that I cannot change, things that I 'hate' but can do nothing about.

But is it helping me to become a better person?

No.

So I'm making a decision right now to ignore those that I instinctively 'hate', those that annoy me and all. I want to free myself from these burdens and work on making myself turn into a better person. For in the end, it doesn't matter if those things that I don't approve of continue on as long as I focus on myself and what good I can do as a person.
