There are these moments during particular days where I have to be surprisingly truthful with myself about what I am going through and feeling. I know when it is preparing to happen because I get this wave of energy from the apex of my neck down to my back and I feel my mood begin to change. I was once frightened of it...the sensation of water just about dripping down my back. But in time I have been taught the simple way to sit with it.
What follows after is pure stillness. Deep in thought. Numb. I feel truth effervescent to the surface.
Frequently we are going through life not realizing that there are things under the surface. We believe that we have fully recovered or have moved on, but in reality there are still pieces to the puzzle that need to be put together. Maybe it is one piece left, just maybe it's just this moment where you have to sit right down and get quiet for the last time, or maybe it demands more of your attention.
There's a fascinating balance between moving forward and taking the time, whatever the situation speaks for, and starting to appreciate what is occurring inside of you. I think most of the time when anyone is hurt and others see it they try to tell that person to pick themselves up as fast as possible and forget the past. This information, while meant to be helpful, isn't really practical - only because the same person who gave that guidance, in a similar scenario, couldn't possibly take it.
The best advice you could give isn't to forget as fast as you can and blast forward, but to sit with whatever is happening inside. To let it all flow through you. The sole way you can truly understand what something basically means to you, especially in a relationship, is by experiencing the aftermath.
Have a truth filled moment.
Don't run or hide from feelings that you would associate as negative. They're life's way of balancing you out. When you try and block them or manipulate them, you are putting yourself in a bad place. Let life do what it must do in order to keep you learning and growing.
When the moment is over, then move onward. Don't attempt to change it while you are in it. Something is trying to chat with you. Open yourself to feelings and let them talk reason into your heart.
