Age of Aquarius

As much as it hurts to lose the person you thought was your forever, it hurts even more to lose yourself in the process. We often forget about the big picture in life. How each moment is an intricate part of our story that unavoidably turns into a memory. When all these tiny memories have become the narrative in our autobiography. Which at the time unknowingly creates our future . It’s the deep belly laughs and holding your newborn for the first time. Being drunkenly in love or so crippled with heartbreak you can hardly find the energy to get out of bed in the morning. When even the darkest moments hold the ability to bring us to our own inner light. While Having an appreciation for the negative experiences in our lives, that ultimately are the fertilizer for us to grow. Those encounters that we try to hide in the shadows and pretend never happened. It’s that part of the book we wish we Could re-write. But if you could would you honestly change anything? Would you want to change whom you’ve become. Potentially re write your entire life by going left instead of right. As much as we want to hide our tattered covers,what we ought to do is dust them off and read those broken stories again. Expose the old narrative of who we once were and step into who we are meant to be. Taking everything you’ve been through and continue to keep going forward. Gathering bits and pieces of strength and compassion along the way. Turning it all into a beautiful new mosaic. Regardless of how many devils may be on your shoulder encouraging you to dance with them. Somehow It’s those phone calls from the ones who know you better than yourself. That remind you that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. The individuals that you call home rather than a place. It’s that line from your favorite piece of literature which reminds you everything will be okay. It’s the kiss that takes your breath away or how someone else’s hand fits perfectly in yours. It’s the feeling of hope that burns in your soul that reminds you that you are in fact alive. It’s when you run into a past lover and you get ignited again but didn’t even know the flame got blown out. Life is a series of up and downs and serious fuckery. The beauty of it is hard to see sometimes but it is always right in front of your eyes if you chose to see it.
