Stick with the plan...

My absence was not planned. Actually, the plan was to share my thoughts and write every day, but you can see how well that worked out. I let days pass without giving them recognition, fully aware that each one of them deserved some kind of acknowledgment. Perhaps this cloud where I sit is preventing me from coming back down to earth to face any realities, one of which including my blog. Actually, I've recently realized that this cloud I've found myself floating on lately is my reality. And in that case, I'm glad my blog found me up here. 


Oh, but don't you worry...the 8 days that passed did not pass without valuable lessons attached to them. I remembered during this time how capable I am of longing for something...which in turn makes me feel very fortunate to possess this capability and to have those people in my life to miss. And it was made clear that time always passes, reuniting me with the ones I love the most. In fact, I realized how quickly time does pass. Something that you think is so far off in the distance is instantly brought to your near future, leaving you wondering where the time in between escaped to. This is both appreciated, but scary at the same time. Because of that, I learned that every second must be spent in pure bliss, no matter what circumstances surround you. Make it happen.


I learned a little bit more about love, a subject I keep gaining knowledge about every single day. And it left me feeling fortunate to have the ability to share this with someone. I learned that laughing is probably the most important thing in the world, and my cheeks hurt because of this realization. And I learned that the ones I love are not that far away, even though at times I feel like I'm in a different world. 


The rain is falling in the city. And since there's nothing I can do to change it, I will simply enjoy it. This, I've learned, is a lesson to live by.
