There are many things that I was not afraid of, but change was not one of them. I held steadfast against it at all costs. Kicking and screaming, I ran from it.
Today I do not. Today I accept it, I watch it approach and pass by and I smile at it as it goes. I close my eyes and feel it walk through me. The waves of events to come washing over my present. Foreshadowings growing clearer, more apparent. They don't scare me anymore.
Saddness is so natural, but we hide it, coil from it.
I am learning to embrace it, and find the beauty in it. Take a moment and feel your sorrow shape you. Do you let it's weight encase you or do you push against it, into it, and fight it back.
It is through shared vulnerability that we allow others to understand ourselves. There is no creature alive that pain has not touched. We all experience loss, and its important to grieve but mostly, it is important to heal. If we spend our time dwelling on what has past, we will fail to appreciate the mystery of what is yet to come.
Curiosity and possibility are thrilling. Exhilarating. It is the electric pulse that charges your system and drives you forward. As much as I am uncomfortable with change, I am more tempted by chance. So live, and fail and lose. Brush the dust off, lick your wounds, and carry on, because there is a chance, however slight, that fate is on your side.
See your story through. Don't quit it in the middle just because you're afraid of how it might end.
