Let me know what's the play...

There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary; you can't gain anything without losing something first. If you can endure that pain, and walk away from it you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Just like a phoenix, which is supposed to  represent dying and coming back as something new, but I disagree. I think it's a symbol of surviving when the world burns down around us. It's a reminder that no challenge can destroy the parts of us that truly matter. We're not reborn in the flames. We're revealed.

Too long I've been afraid of losing love...

He must continue to follow the path he takes now. If he does nothing, if he ceases searching, then, woe is him, he is lost. That is how he looks at it - just keep going, keep going come what may. But what is his final goal, you may ask. That goal will become clearer, will emerge slowly but surely, much as the rough draught turns into a sketch, and the sketch into a painting through the serious work done on it, through the elaboration of the original vague idea and through the consolidation of the first fleeting and passing thought.

My thoughts are either focused on what's eternal, life-changing, and true, or lost in the details of my temporary, selfish, false beliefs. Life is uncertain. Eternity is not. Unforgiveness cannot be allowed to last another day, as it's slowly eating me alive. The last few months have been brutal because of it. Constantly searching for answer to questions not really important anymore. I cannot change what I cannot understand, and because of that I must instead learn to forgive, and move on. Let it go. Kill the root of bitterness. Let the hurt go and set myself free. 

Born with a broken heart...
