Over and Over Again

[catelin]

It pains me, as much as it is a great relief, to find that I am becoming more and more practical when it comes to affairs of the heart. That great cold winter taught me well. Taught me that I can get through breaking even my own heart to do the right thing when I realize that it needs to be done. The ending of things still has the inevitable sting, but I have such a greater sense of movement these days...of how this time--now--will pass and soon things will be different in ways I have yet to even contemplate. New love will come, just like spring. I am lucky that way, and still so very grateful for all of my life's seasons.

I sometimes wish that I could go back to the Emily of before and just whisper in her ear while she was sleeping some of the lessons I've learned, just to make things easier...to make it less painful. And then I wonder if I would be who I am today if she had that advantage then.

Breaking one's one heart in order to live within one's own integrity is quite possibly one of the most courageous things someone can do. I wish you strength and love in all forms.
