Seems to me, 2014 has been the year of living reminiscently. As I have been introduced to new demons and reintroduced to old ones, I have learned more about them and why they sometimes rear their ugly heads, unexpectedly. I've learned how to slay the ones I can and keep at bay the ones I can't, and more importantly, how the love gained in the knowledge is such a game changer.
Those demons have allot to do with what we become in this life, but that's all the credit due. The rest belongs to those of us who persevere.
I have learned the art of love at the other end of the battle. A good thing, as love was not something I was generally familiar with throughout my life. For those of us who aren't, it is the winning of the battle that makes the way for that love.
Moving forward is no longer about healing the wounds of my past. It's about using the knowledge I have picked up along the way and swimming in the ocean of love I now find myself immersed in.
Just keep me tethered to your buoy, as that feeling of impending loss will probably never leave me, and know that you can join me for a swim anytime, the water's fine...
