With Lush_Lawyer
So many times we get whelmed up by waves of emotions; we
experience sweet nostalgia 'bout the people we so much care for. Sometimes it
brings the tears that hurt like the bite from the hive, other times it lurks
and mocks at our strength to hold our peace. This emotions nibbles at our
strength to stand strong, to carry on in spite of the people we so much wish
were close by, like they use to.
At these moments of our lives, we really want to run into
them, give them those bear hugs, smile and chuckle with them almost at the same
time, and pour out all the many experiences we've had while they were away. But
then, we come to the dawning once again that all we have left with us are the
effects of life's vicissitudes to us.
By and by, we become strangers to persons we almost could not
live without once upon a time. We drift into silence and pitiable forgetfulness
of the joys we once shared with these same persons. We settle for the present
style of life offered us by circumstances. And suddenly- we get pricked by an angst
telling us of how forlorn our lives have become. We realize all we have left of
possessions are the bitter-sweet memories of the ones we once loved.
This bridge we could have bridged by staying in touch. These loved
ones turn strangers we could have sent texts, make calls to, beeped at the lowest
and video-called at the highest. But somehow, someway, we choose to allow the issues
of life destroy our good relationships, we allow our ego drive us into
craziness and rellos turned to perfect strangers. Somehow, somewhere, we make
up busy-ness and allow the seconds tick into hours, months into years. And then...
Our lives become very lonely and empty.
The distance is not the problem; the issues are not the snag.
The silence is what separates us from love; the ego is what kills the ties. I am
having a rethink, are you? It's February, it portends love but I choose to live
love through each day that life brings.
