Losing/Sharing
Losing someone is never easy. Never have been and never will be. You came to the world to gain a world, haven’t you? Why were you picked to fall in the deep well of pain by losing someone? Don’t you wish someone could give you a simple answer to that?
Losing someone is gaining what: A perspective on life and living life? Do you remember signing up for that course? Suddenly a smile carries a heavy burden when you do. You look at others and you wish to save your tears for better things. Better things, it seems, can only be earned at the expense of other better things. Pain and suffering seem to always have the ‘buy one get one free’ tag on them.
Losing someone, someone who meant the world to you, can rip your world in two: you on one, the rest on the other side. Whether you believe it or not, even after losing someone irreplacable, there will always be one more person who’ll love you endlessly and for who you are. It will take a while for you to accept that someone. But once you do, you can rip off that bandage from your heart.
Who’s beside you right now, sharing your computer desk, or cooking in the kitchen, or playing in the backyard, or working extra hours so your lives can be a little better? We spend so much time apart these days, sweating blood and tears to make the future better only to find out the future can be taken from us without notice.
Happiness is attainable if you don’t put a price on it. It doesn’t take a lot to take time out to enjoy the moments you have together. It doesn’t take much to make someone smile. It’s always the little things that make you and I happy, wouldn’t you agree?
You and I both know you can share one thing of yours that can make someone else very happy. Why aren’t you? What are you waiting for?

I wish I had all the answers, E…if so, I’d be wealthier and maybe even happier. This past year has been Dante’s 8th Circle of Hell…all I did was say goodbye to people I loved and concepts and I values that I–at one time– believed in whole-heartedly.
2007 has been like one big douche. Obliterating that which was, leaving a sterile environment devoid of so much.
I posted something recently about people being in our lives for a lifetime or just for a season. I realized that for me personally, I’ve lived a lifetime of “seasons”. And that’s OK…. These poeple came into my life for a purpose and with a predetermined exit strategy that even they knew nothing about. I learned a great deal from these “seasonal’ people.
But in their wake and the deafening silence caused by their absence, I now know I’m ready for something else. I’m waiting for “the one” who has “With Her For A Lifetime” stamped on this emotional passport.
Terrific post, E and I’m diggin’ the new look.

Thanks, Dee!
Thanks, L! I read that post you’ve mentioned above. I think seasonal people teach us the most and best.
p.s. I’m digging the new look myself. Will still be looking for the right template though.
