Sometimes I am absolutely dumbfounded at how quickly things can change... and how people are quick to blame and run from the problem. I am not here to point fingers or dismiss myself... but this is a concept I am constantly working on. I face my problems, and I face them with love. I have found over the years, that often the person with lesser power in a relationship is the one that loves MORE. The lover pours their soul into their friendships, their relationships... their souls are filled by seeing the one they love happy and taken care of. Then suddenly, the loved one decides that you are no longer necessary. They cut you off. That's it... you have no power. The lights are out. Game over.
I am here to recognize the fact that I am one of these people. I have reached the point of self-fulfillment that I have the capacity to give my love to others, and need nothing but their presence in return. I have had my heart broken numerous times for this though. And find myself alone, in the dark. This my friends, is the reason for my quote today. Because I have been put in the dark so many times, I am no longer fearful that I will make it to the morning. Do I still hurt? Of course. Do I miss the person with all my soul? Duh... But I know... that regardless of the number of people in my life, I have built myself a strong support system within my self to plow through the hard times, pick up the pieces and move on. Sometimes our night sky will be scattered with stars, all the friends in the world! You feel loved and surrounded by beauty and intensity. Other nights, we might just see the north star, surrounded by clouds, feeling a little lost and alone.
I am here to say: Do not fear being alone. Every star or person that enters and exits your life is doing so to teach you both a lesson, something to push you to the next level of your life. They show you something about yourself or the world you have never seen before. Sometimes, they burn on longer than others.... sometimes they show up for a day and are gone. You never know, but you must learn to appreciate their time while they are there. Show up for the lesson.
In spite of the heart break I have been feeling lately... I am thankful for two of my north stars. I know I will always look up and see you there, no matter how dark the night. <3
Never let anyone dim your light. Shine on, love on.
