When life is consistent and void of excitement, every day is an endless cycle of repetition. This is true of everyone for majority of their life, however, the people around us during these moments define our interpretation of these stages.
Skylar’s depiction hadn’t been positive before Diego officially moved into her life. She had presumed that achieving her dreams of a lovely home would bring her true happiness, thence she worked relentlessly for days and nights to reach this goal. Soon, she finally purchased a family house and even met a potential partner. As far as Skylar was concerned, her vision of a big family was within her grasp.
However, with time, she started felt a sense of emptiness precisely in the house she worked hard to attain. A large two-storey house with 4 bedrooms and a giant garden, yet only one person within its walls. Work took her outside, and Diego made Skylar feel truly alive. But as soon as she entered the house, silence would encompass her.
Most nights felt cold and isolating, so she switched on every light in the house to feel secure. Other nights she would simply gaze out the window at the houses across filled with laughter and warmth. This cycle would repeat and repeat until slowly Skylar began to lose sight of her dream.
Diego’s proposal shook her awake. She remembered what was truly important – a family. Tears had poured that day and more when they got married. Like a bright shining light, Diego not only lit her heart but every corner of the house she could now call home.
Every day of the repeating cycle now was a gift to her. His heartbeat as he lay next to her, the footsteps other than her own, the smell of food when he cooks, and the sound of his voice bouncing across the walls of the house. The emptiness was completely destroyed and replaced with happiness and affection.
