“Maybe it’s not about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it’s about starting over and creating something better.”
Just saw this post on FB; made me think of a situation I am aware of right now. I see a couple floundering in what was love and now has seemed to switch to dismay and something more akin to a somewhat uncomfortable form of familiarity. Hearts have been hurt, pain has been inflicted; not necessarily on purpose, but truly there and felt.
Where will this go, how will this end? Really, should it end? The life of each of waxes and wanes as well as the lives of both collectively, together…yet they hang on. Is the tide in or out, how long does it stay in either position? Will it hurt, cause feeling to dry up and die?
I see the fear, the anxiety in their eyes, but I also see the uneasiness, the frustration and ambiguity. Will disruption happen again, will pain reoccur? How do you stop it? Or should you? Is it important to stop it or should one just let things unfold? Were these just growing pains, or just part of a personality now put up-front and center to be seen and felt? Should they try again, to connect or let it go as love lost, and on to the next life lesson? Or, are these the times when you “decide” to love, no matter what? Is love always a matter of the heart, or do we need to use our more cognitive brain to figure it out? Should they fix it? Should they try to start anew? Should they cut their losses and move on? Humm… it seems to me that it must always go back to the heart. Is the love strong enough, desired enough to continue on? What are your thoughts?
i think if both people want to continue and love one another, that could trump everything…even though sometimes i also think, it two people are too different and cannot walk through life peacefully together as a result, or, if the love is more out of comfort, and perhaps ready to transform, that love transforming and being done does not take away the value what was. it’s endless contemplating on the topic of love!
take away the value of what was, i mean. 🙂
I think you are right Michelle……. 🙂 Thanks for your thoughts!!
it must all go back to the heart…
what a beautiful line & filled with truth…God bless & love always.
