Perspective
June 13, 2009
“Perception is reality, perception is reality.”
How do we ever really know that the people we interact with are what they say they are? How do know that they feel what they say they feel? It is all subjective and we are all individuals in this random web of interconnectedness that we weave together upon this earth. I find that extremely emotional episodes in my life have tremendous ability to give perspective to a whole host of my own ‘isms’.
Yesterday was an emotionally charged day for me and it seems to have carried over into today. I’ve not only lost someone who I thought cared about me as a friend, but I also found out that my sister-in-law is moving out in about 2 weeks. The phrase, life comes at you fast seems to fit.
So what do I resolve? I don’t even know at this point. I feel numb and empty. Like a shell without anything inside.
Loss…

Finding the good that can come out of the pain of loss, finding comfort and healing. Our goals turn toward personal growth. To feel pain after loss is normal. It proves that we are alive, human. We have to become stronger, while not shutting off our feelings for the hope of one day being healed and finding happiness again.
