The Throws

The throws of getting to know people are exactly that - throws. You can find yourself jossteling through facts about who they are, throwing you in all sorts of directions. The highs can fly so high, as if the sky’s the limit and you feel completely free.

No matter what happens, you can always treasure that. Not only that, but the reason this person came into your life and what they gave you when they did.

But when the lows creep in and plummet deep, the sadness, confusion and emptiness sets in. You wonder if it was all a game or a dream and how you could be so wrong to think this meeting could be a blessing.

It’s time to mourn. Not necessarily the person but the loss of the wonderful things you thought were happening and the blessing you thought you had. As crazy as it may be to feel at a loss of a person that doesn’t serve a place in the life you choose, just know that it’s not always about the person but because of them.

Keep your chin up now because the peak of the mountain is within reach. Because of them you learnt new things and tried new things, no matter how good or bad they may seem at a glance. You enjoyed what you started with and that won’t ever change. It’s okay to accept and choose to remain fond of the good times and let go of the bad. Be proud that you are whole enough experience all of the throws. You have the divine ability to care and enjoy and lust. You also have the divine ability to care, to grieve, to mourn and to feel remorse.

Let the feelings come and go, and accept and treasure that you’ve learnt even more than the days, weeks and months before and the well rounded experience that adds to your life’s conquests.

And most importantly, settle in the feeling that it was great until it wasn’t. Be free and go forth smarter, wiser and stronger.
