Truth Thursdays | Today I Leave Behind

Leaving behind

Places

People

Pieces of my heart

It's all I've been doing

I don't want to leave

I want to return 

I want to pick up

I want to stay 

But today I am here 

So today I choose

Today I leave behind again

I choose to leave behind winter

I choose to leave behind the frozen air

The Frost bitten fingers 

The cold and heavy blanket of fear and loneliness

Today I leave behind winter and open my arms wide to embrace the spring and summer

Today I choose to breathe in

Today I choose to wake up and get out of the covers

Today I return

Today I am picked up 

Today I bask in the Son

Truth Thursday: I Am Here 6.13.13

I am here. 

And I'd rather be

here

and here

I didn't want to be here but the longer I stay here the easier it gets. The easier it gets, the more afraid I am of forgetting the place I once called "here." It hasn't happened yet, but I'm terrified of it finally happening. I keep saying that I want to go back, but I've moved around so much that I don't even know what, or where exactly I want to go back to. 

I am here. I am a flower constantly being transferred from pot to pot. Is it because I'm growing too fast? Or is it because the last one wasn't allowing me grow enough?

I am here. Lonely, cold, and wet in the Seattle rain. Afraid to call any place "home." But this is my here. For now.

Truth Thursday

Dear God, 

"Morning comes and I have spent

Every decent thing I am Pockets empty Now it's you and me I've been foolish, rash, unruly Taking pride in all I have Taken from you Now it's you and me This is Love When I give my heart to Everyone but you This is Love When I have turned my back Away from you This is Love When I have left you for the Selfish things I do This is Love That you would still love me,  In spite of me Seconds pass and I think back To every time that I have said I am sorry Now it's you and me So can I say these words again Even with the things I've done I broke your heart Now it's you and me Morning comes and I think back To every time that I've said I am sorry.." - This is Love, The Autumn Film

Dear ______, 

These are my friends. We make music late in the night in empty parking structures. We eat. A lot. We talk about things that matter. We haven't known each other for very long but they're some of my favorite people in the entire universe. I'm about to move to different place soon and we won't be seeing each other for a while. I'm really scared and I don't want to leave. But I know that I'm going to be keeping these people forever. Whether they like it or not. Whether time and distance likes it or not. 

When you find good friends, you don't let time and distance come in between you. Ever. 

Love, 

Mom

The good times and the bad times both will pass. It will pass. It will get easier. But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. And when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice. And when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice. Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. Because it will.

Such beautiful sadness. It was perfect. 

But I just hate endings.
