Breathe. Free. Live

It was like LIVING for the first time.

I woke up, felt really, REALLY good, smiled and sighed. Whew! 
I have realized then just how much I have missed this feeling.

I got apprehensive knowing it may be fleeting.
So, I dared not to own it.
I double-thought about it.
I tried not to mind it.

Yet 2 weeks has passed and I am still feeling the intense calmness. So it got me thinking, perhaps this is for real? And knowing just how much I have wanted an ounce of peace subdue my mind and heart, it was a relief!

So I claimed it.I owned it.
I savored every moment of it.

Then exhaled.
I see things differently now.

Sometimes, what you think is the BEST may just be the best thing to lose at the moment. Not because you never cared, nor loved, but that was just as far as your heart can go. Stopping and letting go is the best therapy to get back at the things that truly matters the most - YOU!

And whenever I get glimpses of the past, I don't feel that sad anymore. 
They were made.They were lived. And I couldn't be happier, because I loved and I learned.
