Bleeding out the hunter...

When something you love dies, you are given the gift of a second chance. The eulogy is a reminder that the living can turn their lives around at any point. You're not bound by the past; that is who you used to be. You're reminded that your feelings are not who you are, but how you felt at that moment. Your bad choices defined you yesterday, but they are not who you are today. Your future doesn't have to travel the same path with the same people. You can start over. 


When something you love dies, you have the authority to leave things behind. You can enjoy not having to explain your feelings or actions or to justify why you have taken a different path. You don't have to put up with people that are insecure and want you to fail. All you have to do is walk forward with a positive outlook, and trust that the universe has a plan that is greater than the sorrow you left behind. The people of quality that were meant to be in your life won't need you to explain the beauty of your heart. They already understand what being human is - a roller coaster ride of emotions during rainstorms and sunshine, sprinkled with moments when you can almost reach the stars.
