Letting go

A couple of weeks ago I withdrew from the planning committee of an event for gay men. I've attended and helped plan the event for several years. I withdrew in part due to the unfriendly attitudes I kept encountering from other planners, starting with a May meeting.

The final straw was finding out I was being blamed for a troubling situation that occurred last year. It was a situation I did nothing to cause, but I was directly impacted by. The situation was "resolved" but kept hidden from the other men. But because it was swept under the rug, my involvement was all that other men knew about... resulting in men seeing me as a trouble maker.

So yesterday I decided it was time to cancel my registration. I've decided to skip this year's event completely. I need to let go of last year's troubles. And to do that I don't want any more contact with the small minds who don't care about the truth.

I'm letting go of the event and the men involved. I don't want any more hassles from last year's mess. Which is why I haven't named any names and haven't identified the event. This blog is about me... expressing myself and sometimes that includes venting about situations I have to deal with. Or in this case venting about a situation that I'm working to let go of for my own health.

If the universe truly wants me to attend, then it will arrange things to have that happen. But I'm stubborn. Hope the universe takes that into account. It's gonna take a lot to get me to change my mind.
