After the thing you dreaded the most came to pass, tell me,
are you still alive?
People, things and feelings; aren’t these the three things this world revolves around, our world? Our whole lives? When you think about it these three words hold in themselves our whole entire world.
People we love, people we would die for and do anything just to keep them around.
Things we cherish, things we can’t imagine living without and would work our guts out just to own.
Feelings, be it faith or be it anything else good or bad, we would do anything for just to stay sane.
All of this in one person’s head and in his life, just so he can live?! Because at the end of the day isn’t this all we live for? Isn’t this what gives us purpose, our lives meaning? What are we really if we have no purpose…
After all this is said and done losing , even, one part of this small yet complex puzzle can wreak havoc on your whole universe. What happens then? The biggest question of all: Are you still breathing?
We have all heard this at least once in our lives: Life goes on! It really does, trust me. We all have different coping mechanism. We all deal with situations differently. We all take different amounts of time to heal. The common denominator here is that we all move on. Moving on doesn’t necessarily mean that you have gotten over it or that you have forgotten it. It simply means that you have learned how to live with it. That you have learned how to go on about life while carrying that grief but not letting it weigh you down every second of every single day.
The pain of loss is temporary just like everything else in this life. Once you realize that the fear of being without your beloved possession starts to dull. Once you move past the feeling of initial loss you start to see the life that’s yet left to be lived. Your story doesn’t end there. It’s not meant to end there, so why let it?
Let your faith strengthen you as you move forward. One day you will look back and realize that that was just a hitch in your story and not the whole story at all.
Live. Always choose to live.
