Introspection
By Sumaira Berry
"Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me,
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day .
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?” – “Vienna “by Billy Joel
How about a moment to slow down?
Maybe the Universe fights for certainsouls to find one another. And maybe the Universe places people in your life just to take them away, just to teach you the things that beauty cannot. Maybe the Universe fights for the heartbreaks, for the missed opportunities, for the bad timing. Maybe the Universe knows in an offhand way, that those moments will show you your strength in ways the hope cannot. Maybe it is within the losses that you truly find gratitude for all that has stayed. Maybe it is through caring for those who make us feel like we are hard to love that we are taught how to embrace those who see us, those who truly protect our souls. And maybe, just maybe, it is through the darkened journey that we are taught how to appreciate the warmth, how to chase the light , how to believe in it even when we do not feel it, how to trust that it is pinned and blooming in this world, waiting to be discovered.
And maybe, right now, the Universe is trying to teach you how to be thankful for all that did not work out in your life. Maybe it is reminding you that when it is finally right, everything that you love ruthlessly, will love you back with the same conviction; that when it is finally right, the things that you reach for in life, the things you deeply hope for, they will reach back. And maybe the Universe is trying to help you understand that all of the things you ached for that did not work out - they were not the losses that broke you, or ruined you, or made you less worthy. No, instead, you will see that they built you. They taught you about yourself. They led you to the person you were meant to be, and they guided you towards what was meant for you. They shaped you. They challenged you. They grew you.
