People to count on.

Today I just felt like talking about something else. I just spoke to someone from my past, not too distant past, last time I saw her was probably a year ago. I used to see her everyday for about 3 years, but life changed and it took me on other adventures, crueler times. Times where there wasn’t really any time for nice coffee in the garden or jokes out in the sun. I won’t go into too much detail.

Things are slightly better at the moment, or it could just be that I have found a comfortable spot to sit in the chaos? A way to navigate through the darkness so that I can still see the light? I’m not sure, but it is better and I am grateful for that. Anyway, I spoke to this lady from my past and it just reminded me of all the times I had with her and our friends, the love and comfort, the kind words and the laughter. I can still have that, I just need to step out of the darkness once in a while… leave the chaos behind for a few hours a day. I will always have to return but I do have the option of taking a break. That’s what my yoga classes do for me, so why can’t I go see old friends too?

My point is, just because you haven’t seen someone in a long time doesn’t mean they don’t love you anymore, it doesn’t mean you can’t connect again. If you feel the need to reach out, then do. It might put a huge smile on your face! It might make you feel fuzzy inside! It has the potential to make your day, make the sun shine a little brighter. Don’t be scared of rejection, if someone rejects you, they don’t deserve you. If someone is nasty to you, then you shouldn’t have that person in your life. Keep what’s good for you, keep love and respect. Let go of what feels toxic.

Be kind, be open to receiving love and it will come to you in beautiful ways.

Until next time,

Namaste.
