Sometimes (v. 10)
From the archives (2020)
Sometimes we write words that have so much meaning in the moments we write them and then over time, their meaning fades.
Sometimes we write words that have so much meaning in the moments we write them and then months or years later they still hold that meaning.
Sometimes we have to burn our words so we can let them go, so we can move on to the next thing, so we can breathe and be present and live and love again.
Sometimes we meet someone who turns our world upside down in all the best ways and we love every instant of it and then months or years after they are gone we wonder what we ever saw in them in the first place.
Sometimes we meet someone who turns our world upside down in all the best ways and we love every instant of it and then months or years after they are gone we miss them and ache for them and look back at that time as one of the best of our life.
Sometimes we have to burn bridges and end things in such permanent and dramatic ways so we can let them go, so we can move on to the next great love, so we can breathe and be present and live and love again.
Sometimes life is complex. Sometimes the universe is a trickster. Sometimes what we let go of comes back and while we thought we wanted it with all our being, we realize that we no longer do.
Sometimes life is complex. Sometimes the universe is a trickster. Sometimes what we let go of comes back and when we thought we wanted it with all our being, we were right.
Sometimes we have to burn our own path and move forward. Only looking back to remember from where we came, leaving the past in the past while keeping the gate open for things to resurrect and catch up to us.
Sometimes timing is everything. And it’s all wrong. And this breaks our hearts.
Sometimes timing is everything. And it’s so exactly right. And our hearts break open.
Sometimes it’s both. Wrong and right. Sometimes wrong can become right. Sometimes we need to be patient and allow things to unfold as they are meant to.
And that can be so fucking hard.
And that can be so fucking worth it.
