Let it flow...

In the past week, I've gone through quite a bit in the love department. Mostly, it's self-chosen pain. I've allowed myself to focus on the past & the future and what could be and what probably couldn't be. I realize that this is poisoning a great thing that I have with my boyfriend. I make him happy, he makes me happy, and we're good together. We could be great together, if we allowed ourselves to be. What i've come to realize is that you have to make the best of what's going on in the present moment. The future is not guaranteed. 2 or 3 minutes from now, anything could happen. If you're happy now, do what you can to make sure you stay happy, and let God take care of everything else. Worrying about what could be or could have been is totally irrelevant to what is now. 




"Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears."

-Kahlil Gibran
