Well hi. You’ve got tenderness, you’ve got ache. I see you. You’ve got grief and wounds and bright patches you haven’t even discovered yet, colors begging to be unfurled for err’body to see and wrap themselves in. Best part is you’re free to walk around inside you and check it all out. None of it is bad. (Telling me this too!) As I walk around in my own heartache and big breaky stuff as of late I want to push it away and move onto the joy–my insides get frantic and dizzy wondering when we’re gonna be out of this. When we’re going to be back on the joy train. But joy is made from knowing the bottoms of sorrow–we have to know what sad is to have any reference for happy. I preach what I need to learn, and wow this keeps coming back to take my face in its hands and say, there’s no shortcut. you need the pool of all the pain and all the beauty alongside.
It’s all part of you, part of me, a puzzle piece that makes up the whole–and part of the collective Us that needs dark to know light. #loveiseasyloveishard
