The next chapter

I do not know what comes next
But I know I am prepared
I won't forget how I've been blessed
I won't throw a piece of this away
Tomorrow is a better day
Because of you.

There will always be room inside
My heart for the likes of you
And always there's a spot in
My life, if you ever need to.

You showed me everything I am
You gave me everything I need
With you inside my soul
How could I not succeed?

Thank you for the joy
Thank you for the laughter
The early morning calls and
The nights spent pining after
For all the treasured words
And all the lessons learned
For all the kindness shared
And for every reach returned.

I take it all with me
I take it in my heart
As I wish I could take you
Always.

A different time
A different place
How right it would have been
This thing that can't be wrong
Because it healed me within

Joy, care and respect
Defined our deep connection
I promise, since it's all I can do
To do our story justice.

My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie. 

When you get stuck

Sometimes you can get stuck in a relationship: You're in a constant state of trigger (fight/ flight/ freeze) instead of feeling intimately connected You've become two old stories instead of two open hearts You're scared or angry most of the time instead of feeling free and authentic It's heavy and complicated instead of light and playful  There is more effort placed on control and strategy than growth and gratitude You are there because of a commitment, because you feel you “should”, not because you want to be.  What can you do? You basically have 3 options: 1. Stay . Continue the slow, painful process of losing yourself in order to keep the relationship. 2. Let it go . Sacrifice your relationship to save your soul. 3. Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...
