one of those moments that just slip
but you feel it from your heart to your fingertips
me: "Should I write about peace or appreciating the moment?"
Emilee: "appreciating the moment."
me: "but that one hurts and isn't finished processing."
Emilee: "that's when it's best."
okay, okay.
brutally honestly?
there is so much love in my heart for so many people (and places)
that I have learned from. laughed with. listened to.
and then they leave.
or I leave.
sometimes (most times?) it makes me think twice before loving again because losing is the worst. literally the worst.
especially when you know the goodbye is coming.
I want to skip straight to the goodbye or forget that hello happened to try and ease the torture of the process.
but "it's a fact of life"
part of the process
a step in the journey
a fork in the road
all that jazz.
none of that has hit me yet, at least not enough to make it feel better.
but I do know this, I've never regretted the loving.
just the passing of the moment.
so here's to loving and losing
risk and reward
breathing and beauty
and ultimately not running from wonderful things or being miserable because they end
but somehow, letting go in the midst of them so that joy sinks in to full capacity.
