Why is it so hard to open, to stay open… to trust another person with all of myself? I am amazed when I let go and let you in and open up and cry and give up the parts of myself that scare me and hold me back and just… let… go…
Life is too beautiful to box myself into the kind of relationships I ‘should’ have and the life that I ‘should’ lead. Whose ‘should’ is this anyway? It’s not like I have someone telling me that I need to settle down or need to find a life partner.
How can I have so many feelings all at the same time? I feel simultaneously rejected and loved, grateful for what I have, and sad for what I don’t. I don’t want to end up like my old friend, who only sees what isn’t instead of what is – and in the process misses the beauty and the perfection in what is before him in any given moment.
Today, I acknowledge perfection in myself and those I love – irrespective of the past or future. What if we started from perfect? What would happen if you looked at your partner tonight, and found him/her completely right? How would that change the way you relate to each other?
