HELLO MY DAHHHHHLINZZZ!!
Let me just start off by apologising for the lengthy period between this and the last post. Hallelujah! Lol
But welcome to it… askies mmkay!
It’s Monday morning and already two friends have been through situations that have forced me to confront how easy it is to make meaningful connections as well as how easy (however painful) it is to lose them… ok maybe the word confront is a bit too aggressive in describing my space right now, but if you’re a regular visitor to my blog then I gather you have already picked it up that I tend to get A BIT overly dramatic about things… SOMETIMES (with strong emphasis on the letters in capital letters thank you very much).
It seems only fitting that this would be my first blog post for the year (it’s a little late I know, and it’s been a while… I know that too, but we’re here now aren’t we?).
I think I may have already said this before, but, everyone who walks through the doors of our lives has been divinely ordered to do so. No encounter with anyone happens by accident or coincidence. We serve purposes in each others lives whether or not we consent to those purposes… whether or not we even acknowledge these purposes.
This is a gorgeous theory I think… well sometimes not so sexy, but for the most part, I think it’s absolutely beautiful.
Let me explain (I am tearing up a little bit writing this and might I say, this is an absolutely inappropriate time and space for me to be catching emotions).
I have built incredible friendships and indulged in absolutely loving connections with people I have not spent too much time with… also with people I have not physically met (yes, I’m part of the cyber generation… I will not be judged, lol), and these friendships have grown to feel like I have known these connections all my life. I have crowned some of these souls siblings… family. I have recognised myself in so many of these people and I find it quite overwhelming the thought that the love I feel for these absolutely amazing souls might exist for me with others.
The idea that I might mean the world to someone I have not had the pleasure to meet. The thought that anyone of these cyber people that I speak to so casually and maybe even without conscious regard< might have put me on their list of loves and chosen family. It just goes to show how strong an impact we all have on each other and how easy love comes (I’m talking about that real love that’ll kick somebody’s asssssssssss ‘fo they let a punk disrespect their people #gangster face#... yes, I watch a lot of tv).
I was saying… people come into our worlds to serve a purpose, and sometimes, that purpose is not meant to carry on forever. Difficult as may be, one must learn to respect the purpose served and the exit of the server. One must let others leave with love, genuine love. Pause… am I the only person that thinks the use of “one” makes it all sound so pretentious? Lol. But it seems a little fancy I think… not too much, but fancy still, lol. Anyway, people are going to leave, and when they do, it has (recently) started to seem a little childish to start a hate foundation in their honour. Let them leave, and appreciate the mark they’ve left in your world. Good or bad, pretty or ugly, this mark is not an accident. Heaven is always at work, and always in our favour. Learn to love the beauty and the pain of every connection made. THEY WILL ALWAYS BUILD YOU…ALWAYS!!
This is not a revelation…in fact some might consider this somewhat clichéd… but just in case anyone might not hear this anywhere else… I’m saying it.
Of the many takes on what the year 2012 will represent… I have settled on 20self… I’m taking this year personally. Makes sense then that this whole making genuine connections thing would turn me into a cheeseball. I will not apologise for that, lol.
So then… to the friends I have carried with me for all my life… or somewhere close to that length, the new friends and the friends I have not met (may we meet before judgement day, in case we are separated into different temperatures of the afterlife, lol)… I have turned you all into family, I have loved you all as I love myself and I hold you dear. Thick and and thin, I love you all.
To those that have already fulfilled their purposes in my life…thank you. I may or may not yet have reached the lesson you left for me, but I am forever greatful for those intersections at which we were introduced.
I feel truly blessed and so favoured that the good Lord continues to let my path intertwine with the paths of others, that His love for me (clears throat at tries to compose the waterworks) ensures I am not island. You souls…you beautiful souls have made my life so colourful, the drama, the joys and all the times in between have been memorable. And with all the love I have in me, from the deepest part of the healthiest bit of my medulla oblongata (this biological term was not in the cards when I was still ruling the spelling bee teasts in my junior years, so if it’s wrong…I’m sorry), with every fibre of my being, every ounce of my soul (I don’t know what we measure the soul with so I’ll settle for ounce thank you very much)… with everything I have to give… THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH and though it’s a little late, we are still in January so HAPPY NEW YEAR, lol. I hope all of you make manifest all that you’ve planned to achieve, all you’ve planned to be and all you’ve prayed, wished and imagined to experience. I LOVE YOU MY BABIES.
Now go out there and make this another memorable journey. If anyone opposes, tell them all to find themselves a chair and sit their ass down somewhere. As ordered by Queen Theri.
