I Can Still Feel…

Apparently and unfortunately. I just broke down over an infuser. The little infuser, already in the trash, was a birthday gift. It had sentimental value. I cried because I broke it.

I guess the water works were bound to come… After all it has been more than a year since my grandmother died and I am yet to allow myself to fully mourn. I was told two days ago, that I have changed since she passed away. I don’t doubt this is true.

It wasn’t so much about the infuser. It was about it’s emotional weight in my life. Everything I love, I lose or let go.

Today, I have someone in my life. Let’s say, I don’t want to discuss how I feel about her now. She does mean significantly more to me than anyone has in more than eight years. I am afraid she is going to be gone from my life too.

The friend that bought me the infuser was once one of the closest people to me. She told me that her life was better without me a week before my birthday of this year. The infuser was on it’s way. She reminded me, that I don’t always have a choice on whether or not someone stays in my life. I’ve always known this.

When all is said and done, will I be able to keep that special person in my life? Will my heart go cold again?

This is not how I wanted my first post to after such a long hiatus. I need to come back regularly. I need the therapy. There is so much going on. I feel the pressure… The pipes are ready to burst.

    I simply love how this was written. Least to say, in my opinion you do control who comes in and out of your life. For the simple fact of the matter, society is changing everyday we open and close our eyes. n As for the new person within your life, If you choose to keep her, then by any means necessary do so. if you feel a person belongs within your life, then keep them. People don’t always control every aspect of your life. Yes we learn from them. but we do not necessarily have to keep them their if we don’t want to. we can simply push them in or wheel them in as much as possible. n Life is so ambiguous sometimes, because we can’t always have or find the answers to our questions or concerns. But we can keep walking under that tunnel until we see a clear path. n As for the infuser, remember that this infuser is like a person as well. They can only provide us with so much. but never assume that a person is leaving. If they keep coming back it is for a simplistic reason. n your heart can never go cold. Metaphorically speaking, no matter how many times you throw ice on it or drown it in a cold item, It is up to you on whether you want to stay like that forever. I don’t believe living a cold life is worth the stress or ache. n Never give up. For your life is still rolling like a captured camera. So let it play out and in due time you will see how everything goes. Their is a beginning and an end. nnLove, nSibbyn
