Sometimes people let us down.
I can see the moment their terrible decision was being made. If we love the person enough we put ourselves in their shoes, and somehow, we understand. The ill will, the desire to hurt anyone wasn’t there, but yet it happened. Did they see the potential for causing so much pain, and choose to ignore it?
Bury your head in the sand. Pretend your actions are only affecting you. Meanwhile I just moved my hand through the air and the whole world moved. The most important connections in life are invisible. Always do the right thing. Or at least what you perceive as such. Karma won’t fuck with good intentions.
Sometimes, life turns into a muddy bog. We find ourselves wading through it, trying not to be sucked under, like Atreyu and his horse. But the sadness wants to bring you down. Never be afraid to struggle. Stay centered. Go where you wish without a fear. Find harmony amid great pain. Keep peace in your heart.
I place expectations for those I love on a shelf. If they want to take them down it is their choice. But it still hurts to look at the shelf, when it is full and collecting dust.
