Simply Me took me on a journey through emotions and feelings today.
She must have seen how I was struggling within myself, how I moved from joy to despair, how impatient I had become because, although I could already see the beginnings of endings, I still had no idea what was waiting around the corner…
I think she already knows.
She knows what is there, what it will be like, and that it will all be worth it.
She knows it is all right that sometimes I run out of strength and, despite the calm somewhere in the background, I still sink under the weight of my impatience…
So she showed me that it is all right.
That it does not matter.
I can cry and have doubts.
I can even feel tired.
And she reminded me not to give up.
She held me close and showed me how far we had already come,
how many things on the list had already turned green.
She reminded me that faith can work miracles,
and we already know that miracles have happened in our lives more than once.
And after the storm, the sun comes out.
Sometimes, we simply need to stop, scream, cry, allow ourselves to feel, and be fully present in the moment.
That is all.
And yet, it is so much.
Enough to see that things are not nearly as bad as they sometimes seem.
