It’s amazing what one weekend did for me. Not having to worry about anything or anyone, but just sitting, reflecting and smiling… weird. It was nice to be grounded again, know the important things vs. the unessentials, and the truth vs. fiction. I can’t even explain this feeling, it’s foreign and a little scary to think about me finally finding a place where I can just accept what is and be okay with it. I can’t keep telling myself, “one day it’ll be okay,” when that day can be today, can be right now. Life is so damn short to be worrying about things that I can’t fix and can’t control. It really is out of my hands, in fact it wasn’t in my hands to begin with it, and oddly enough I am okay with that. I am okay with the way my life is going because I know I am ambitious, smart, funny, and totally lovable. It is all about letting the right moment and right time come to you for things to happen. God’s got my back, I knew he’d prevail in the end. Thank you for the beautiful blessings in disguise.
May May Go Away.
‘My Dearest Allie. I couldn’t sleep last night because I know that it’s over between us. I’m not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I’ll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best kind of love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give to you forever. I love you. I’ll be seeing you. Noah.’
Why is this so cliche but still relevant to my life? I honestly feel like my whole chest has collapsed in. In some weird way I thought that when I got older breakups would be easier, more mature and more relevant to the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Unfortunately, they’re still the same. Difficult, immature, and hard to handle. Why is it that things like this have to hurt so much? When you give it your everything to have it thrown back in your face. I’ve lost so much in life: people who died, people I love, friends I’ve lost touch with. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, but losing things is never easy.
One Art
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster,
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three beloved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.
— Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) a disaster.
Elizabeth Bishop
This is one of my favorite poems, mocking how people think it is so easy to lose things… because losing is one of the hardest things humans go through. My faults are just that: I care too much, I invest more than I should sometimes and it’s hard for me to let go. So I guess this is what it is.
Carrie Underwood you got it so right, “I thank God that I didn’t get what I thought I deserved.”
