When the dust settles

Warning: Personal post. High levels of emotion, self-reflection and personal references involved.

It's true. Things happen when you least expect it.

I didn't ask to be happy again. Didn't even know what I was missing out on.

But it happened. And I'm glad it did.

Why be saved later, when I had the chance to save myself now.

The Other Side of The Bubble - I haven't referenced the name of this blog for awhile now.

It's all about reflection.
And 'The Other Side' depicts something around the corner, or something left behind.

Not something presently accessible. 

The Other Side of The Bubble- The Past

Thank you, to those I have loved and lost. To moments shared and gone. Memories in my head that are significant and oh so relevant...but are slowly fading like polaroids in a drawer.

The colours, however vibrant and loud they were at that time itself, will fade. But the outline of these moments will always be imprinted in my mind.

Thank you, for making me stronger. For I am not dead from any hurt or pain ever inflicted on me. In fact, It made me feel more...which means I'm more alive.

I appreciate the good things more now. 

And I have a clearer perspective of what I want, what I need.

The Other Side of The Bubble- Around the Bend

Thank you for the love, the commitment, the devotion.

Ive been lucky.

I have hurt just enough for me to learn from it.

Loved just enough for me to learn from it.

And now I've found this.

And from the lessons of the past, a more solid foundation is formed....

A foundation built from principles, precedents and mere common sense that was knocked in to me over the past few years.

Life's too damn short to wallow in sorrow. Pick yourselves up, it's worth it. At the end of the day - it's true what they say... what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger.

I realized, after all the self reflecting, that the only person who was coming in the way of my happiness.... was myself. It took a change of mind, and a change of spirit and a change of heart......... but now I'm at that fuzzy, warm cozy place that I so longed to be at...  

So yeah, It's worth everything.
