WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS...

I found this picture today and was inspired to write a girlfriend of mine (who's going through the rough patch we call heartbreak) and I thought i would share...never know who else needs it...


Tragedy and heartbreak filters out your true friends from your acquaintances. But even with the closest friends there to offer a shoulder and support, in the end you’re still broken. You can try to fake it, ignore it, or stand up and face it grasping the new knowledge that the experience has brought you. Growing up is complicated. Yes, I know all to well, the realization of facing the situation head on and recognizing that YOU allowed this hurt to be brought on, you want to close yourself off from everyone, you feel unsafe, you detach… you spiral down in to a point of self reflection questioning your intuitive nature and your intelligence. But what is this actually accomplishing? Self reflection is good…but not in this unhealthy self destructive kind of way. That self destructing pattern will inevitable act as a quick sand trap and become a comfortable place to hide causing you to miss out on life entirely. I don’t have all the answers… But I know that life changes course and its incredibly scary driving blind, especially when all you have in the passenger seat are the memories and the heavy feeling of loneliness that those memories have chained you to. In retrospect, everyone is “driving their own car”, getting flat tires, hitting bumpy roads, and breaking down. Regardless…we are all living “in the fast lane” and the scenery is passing by at an incredibly alarming rate.



It’s all about courage right now, courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, and embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. There are 6 billion people on this planet…and deep down everyone is looking for that “spark” or connection. Come to terms with the fact that each relationship you have had with these “great” guys has come to and end for a reason. You were not meant to be with them for what ever reason. You are no longer jaded, its time to move on, wade through the waters of the assholes, cheaters, and the emotionally unstable but do so with the understanding that out of the 6 billion people on this earth, at least, one of them will eventually meet your expectations as a spouse and will make the rest of the “drive” worthwhile.
