Girl world finally seems to be temporarily at peace. For the time being the shark tank of drama, chaos, confusion, and roller coaster emotions seems empty and I'm able to just float along contently and quietly.
The last few days have seen me cheery and relaxed, quiet and calm. The storm inside me has settled. Maybe it's the eye, maybe the end; either way, I'm happy for the break.
There is a teeny, tiny, itty-bitty part deep down that wishes I was missed. It's sad to think that I'm able to float in and out of other people's lives without making so much as a ripple, that my presents is inconsequential and meaningless, and no one is better or worse for having spent time with me.
But I'm not wasting time pining away either, so I guess it's fair.
Yes, it's true: I am not pining over yesterday, last month, or last year. Acceptance, courage, and strength have become my new attitude. Moving on has become my new purpose. Looking back with appreciation for the lessons I've learned has become my new view.
I just wish lessons didn't have to be the end result of every relationship....
