Skies Minus
Those moments in life when it feels like a reset or renew button has been pressed are pretty special. They don’t come around all too often but when they do… boy oh boy do they frame things in a new light. I live alone in the dark most of the time, though not really through choice. Being an introvert is its own thing and whilst I'm used to how that unfolds by now, there are times where it can be a little much. Many of us can at times feel slightly aimless in where we're headed and that's okay. It's not really about the destination anyway. Life is an unplanned road-trip across the country and it's all about those memorable stops en route. It’s not going to last forever. It doesn't matter what the weather forecast says either because to be truly alive is to dance in the downpour TODAY when your car breaks down at the stupidest time. Regardless of the cost to repair the damage, I just feel so lucky to be here. Good and bad things happen in life sometimes in equal measure, other times not… not everything has a reason for happening. But we can create meaning, and can pull lessons from even the most dire of situations.
It’s funny how the introduction of people into your life can have a profound impact on it. We can spend ages sleepwalking our way through social encounters only to end up with a canvas painted with muddled footprints. A lot of life can feel like that. But then sometimes, just sometimes, you meet someone who zaps you with a bolt of lightning out of the blue and it changes everything. I don’t know how. I certainly don’t know why. All I do know is that it was enchanting to meet you.
If you need me, I'll be outside in a red anorak trying to figure this all out.
