Life lessons

As I grow older (younger in spirit tho), I realize so many philosophical aspects in life, the past couple of months have been hard yet full of life changing lessons that I had to cry, grief and agonize as a paid price.

You will meet so many people and faces along your journey, some will be forgotten easily, some will be remembered with that nostalgic feeling that hits you in the middle of the night from time to time and some, oh boy, will leave you speechless, in awe of their beautiful and free souls, you will connect with them on a deeper level, on an other universe maybe, they will come and leave you a better person, they will plant flower seeds in your heart and gardens will bloom from your chest and spirit, but you must know, the hard way, that not everyone we feel something deep for will make a home within us

Some people come into our lives and suddenly leave only ever to teach us that we can never own anyone, we can never depend on another human to bring us happiness, for happiness always flows from within.

And not everyone we share a special or intimate moment with will be our safe place, for those people enter our lives to teach us that the beauty of a moment lies in knowing that it will end, and what remains of it is a divine, vivid memory of the feelings you were lucky to experience together.

And some people will come and yes, they will stay, they will fight and see in you something worth fighting for, worth loving and worth staying. They will be your home, your refuge and your safe place but only after you’ve learnt how to be all those things for yourself. They will fill your heart with so much meaning  that your bones will drip with grace and gratitude for finally having met them, for finally having experienced them.
