It has been one of the
greatest
and most difficult years of my life. I learned
everything is temporary. Moments. Feelings. People. Flowers. I
learned love is about giving everything and letting it hurt. I
learned vulnerability is always the right choice because it is
easy to be cold in a world that makes it so very difficult to
remain soft. I learned all things come in twos. Life and death.
Pain and joy. Salt and sugar. Me and you. It is the balance of
the universe. It has been the year of hurting so bad but living
so good. Making friends out of strangers. Making strangers out of
friends. Learning mint chocolate chip ice cream will fix just
about everything, and for the pains it can't there will
always be my mother's arms. We must learn to focus on warm
energy. Always. Soak our limbs in it and become better lovers to
the world. For if we can't learn how to be kinder to each
other, how will we ever learn to be kinder to the most desperate
parts of ourselves?
