Do I continue my relationships with those who impacted my life? Feeling curious.

              Hi everyone here is my second entry for 2014. I guess I am looking for people to read this and offer me their opinions. I had a conversation with a friend from Cornerstone. He was nice enough to pick me up from home and take me to Starbucks. He said it was okay to let people from my past stay in the past. That it's okay to let them go. I have been taking it all in, and I guess I feel like it's true. I should let them go. Mainly the older folks in my life. I know I have a genuine connection with those who supported me while I was in school. For that I'm grateful. But is it wrong of me to let them go? But then I look back and think of all the the things they did for me. I am so blessed for what they did. If not for them who knows where or what I'd be doing with my life now.
      Last week I went out for coffee with my awesome High School special education teacher. I am so fortunate that she came into my life. Let me tell you it was almost like she was meant to be in my life. She cheered me on during the most difficult exam which was MCAS. I have her reaction when she told me I passed still in my mind. The pure joy she showered upon me was awesome. It was so nice to see her. I have to admit after all these years she still makes me laugh when I need it. I think she is so awesome for doing what she does. I truly respect her. But I feel like for her and so many other people in my life, doesn't even have to be a teacher. I question why they still want to be a part of my life? I discussed this at Cornerstone last week. I guess in a way the answer wasn't something I understood. Or expected perhaps. That those adults who are in my life and continue to remain in my life enjoy my company. I have good qualities in me, and I was able to even list a few out but still am trying to work this out in my head. I still question these relationships. I judge myself on a regular basis. Trust me you would all be surprised.
          What I want from this entry is comments Even just one would be helpful. I am looking for advice on how I could let go of these negative feelings. I am so grateful to have so many people in my life. I'm just nor sure how to take it all in.
