Life Stories...

Things are as simple or as complicated as we make them out to be. I was recently inspired to start some new things...very simple really. Things that I've thought about doing just had not received that push yet...I got it this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration (you know who you are). It's interesting how when you least expect it, BOOM inspiration knocks you down. Be on the lookout for my story...

Unresolved

How can you truly move on if you haven't dealt with unresolved feelings? Until you do, what you think is happiness and love, almost feels fake. You have this "what if" going on in the back of your mind. Those feelings have to be acknowledged. You have to try and resolve them before it leads to further hurt. No matter how much time has passed or how many relationships you've had in between, feelings are still there. You've done the whole "we'll be friends" thing. That person becomes your best friend. The one you run to when shit gets rough. The one you go to when something great has happened. You've even sat by and watched that person be in relationships with other people. Yet, you put your feelings aside and be the friend you've always been. The feelings you have are unwavering. To truly be happy, you have to work through this. There are instances where these feelings lead to true love and there are times when all that remains is the friendship. None of this happens if you don't face the unresolved feelings you have. This is always a confusing time, because generally we ignore these things and pretend to have moved on. A decision has to be made...

Rebirth

Today I died. It was a very painful death. Painful because I fought it for so long instead of giving in and going peacefully. I hope that others can learn from my mistake. We have to learn when to fight and when to go with it. Part of my fight was simply out of fear. Well, what I feared happened...I died anyway. I also feared losing the best parts of me. Never realizing that those things have been evolving, and the old that I was hanging on to had been long gone. I fought to hold on to something that wasn't meant to be kept. Parts of me that hindered my evolution. Painful to admit, but it had to be done. I had to let go so that I could become a better version of myself. I had to die. So don't be sad about my death. Celebrate it. I will rise again like the Phoenix!
