A Kaleidoscope of Thoughts…

     Saying that life is complicated is an understatement. Every shift, every turn, every decision brings about a different perspective and a myriad of possibilities. Every circumstance we come across can either bring us to the highest of highs or the lowest of lows. A cacophony of sounds and a swirl of colors surround us any which way we turn; but no matter how disconcerting life may be, we inevitably find ourselves willingly being immersed in the changing hues and the turning tides.

     I love purplink. People tell me no such color exists, but I don’t need a color wheel to determine what I SHOULD see. I believe in what I COULD see and that’s enough for me. What would this world come to if we limit ourselves to seeing what OTHERS tell us we SHOULD see? Each vision is possible, if only we have faith.

     I’m an endless optimist when it comes to love. Yes, I have been hurt in the not-so-distant past, but then we must realize that sometimes what we want to do would not always be the same as what we have to do. And in the end, everything was so worth it. The fact that you love someone, if it is indeed true love, should be more than enough reason for you to keep on holding on and working things out. But if the love has faded, then we must learn how to gently let go. And when everything doesn’t end well, we learn how it feels like to fall and get hurt. But learning doesn’t have to end there. After our fall, we strive to get back on our feet and move on. 

     The hardest part of losing love is letting go and moving on. Most of us cry endlessly over things that could have been but never will be.  But God allows us to experience pain to make us stronger and better persons. He will see us through the most trying and difficult times in our lives and only if we put our trust in Him can we learn to find joy in our tears and happiness in our sorrows.  In many failed relationships, separation comes as the inevitable choice but moving on always proves to be twice as difficult as letting go. Sometimes, the end of a relationship is imposed on us, but our choice to hold on is always beyond the control of circumstance.  Letting go is a decision that can never be dictated on us. It is a resolve we make ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new beginning and time is the healer of all wounds.

     Even if the storm casts its fearful shadow, there will always be light after our darkest and loneliest moments. There is always a hope for those who believe. There is always a chance for those who try. This is where we learn that life doesn’t end where our heartaches begin. For just as gold is perfected through the test of fire… so is love perfected through the test of pain.     And we go on with life until finally, we find the one He has meant for us…  I know I have, and because of him I feel so blessed…
