Opening my heart

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

I made a conscious decision to allow my heart to open up to someone. I could have closed myself off and not done it. I could have decided I didn't want to be hurt. I could have let fear keep me from feeling, but I didn't. I threw all reason aside and opened it up. It felt good to feel again. To be touched physically and also emotionally. It felt good to listen to music that spoke to the feelings that I was having. By opening up my heart, I healed just a little bit more. This person helped me feel beautiful and relevant again. He was sent to me for this purpose. I truly believe that it was mutual healing that we did together.

So now this phase, whatever this was, is over. It makes me sad, but I am also thankful that I got to experience it. That sounds so cliche, but it's the truth. I never imagined that he and I would be joined together on this journey. I want to thank him for it, for helping me heal and I probably will sometime when the sadness has lessened. For now I will just know that I am capable of having feelings and get ready for the next adventure and people who are coming into my life.
