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
every
thing. And for the pains it can't, there will always be my
mothers
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 to be kinder to each other, how will we ever learn to
be
kinder to the most desperate parts of
ourselves.
