They will tell you; you can stack misery, you can pack, disappear, you can even wear your sorrow -- but come tomorrow you must change your clothes. Everyone knows pain. We are not meant to carry it forever. We were never meant to hold it so closely, so be certain in the belief that what pain belongs to now will belong soon to then.
For my 200th post, I wanted to share a video that is a reminder for all those (everyone), of what we need to remember in the moments our life and mind have a tendency of clinging to. To that which no longer serves us but has become a comfort zone. Something that acts of no use, but a reminder of what you used to be, and what we never want to return to.
I guess more than anything, I post it because 200 posts later, I can say that the pain belongs to the 'then'.
It sometimes hurts to type the truth, especially when you were convinced it could never be possible.
200 posts later, I know that it is...and so is everything else.
Grief is such a heavy cloak of pain. Wanting to strip it off and lay it aside, but it continues to hang on, weighing me down. I am clinging to the hope that sometime, someday the memories will remain but the pain will subside, if not disappear.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can fix it but:
ReplyDeleteThe background music was so loud, I couldn't distinguish the words. Can you turn it down??
This video is so inspiring. "Your voice is your weapon. Your thoughts… ammunition" Wonderful. I will play it on those days when I need a reminder. Thank you so much for inspiring me… not as far out as you… not as close to the pain being "then". Thank you my friend
ReplyDeleteThank you - inspiring for me though heartbreaking at the same time. You never stop missing your partner. Viewed a couple times will be back to view it again.
ReplyDeleteAnd - thank you for all your hopeful posts.
