There are these moments during particular days where I must be surprisingly truthful with myself about what I am going through and feeling. I know when it is preparing to happen because I get this wave of power from the top of my neck down to my lower back and I feel my mood begin to change. I was once frightened of it...the sensation of water about dripping down my back. But in time I have learned how to sit with it.
What follows after is pure stillness. Deep in thought. Numb. I feel truth bubbling up to the surface.
Often we go through life not realizing that there are things under the surface. We believe that we have completely recovered or have moved on, but in truth there are still pieces to the puzzle that need to be put together. Maybe it is one piece left, just maybe it is simply this moment where you've got to sit right down and get quiet for one last time, or perhaps it demands more of your attention.
There's an engaging balance between moving forward and taking the time, whatever the situation may be, and starting to understand what is occurring inside of you. I believe much of the time when anyone is hurt and people recognize it they try and tell that person to bounce themselves up as fast as is humanly possible and forget the past. This guidance, while meant to be helpful, isn't actually practical - as the same person who gave that guidance, in the same situation, could not take it.
The most sensible advice you could give is not to forget as quick as you can and blast forward, but to sit with whatever is occurring within. To let it all flow through you. The only way you can really understand what something really means to you, especially in a relationship, is by experiencing the aftermath.
Have a honest moment.
Don't run or hide from feelings that you would associate as negative. They're life's way of balancing you out. When you try to block them or manipulate them, you are putting yourself in a bad place. Let life do what it has to do so as to keep you learning and growing.
When the moment is over, then move onward. Don't attempt to change it while you are in it. Something is trying to speak with you. Open yourself to emotions and feelings and let them pour reason into your heart.
