Note to self ………. Rest, Regroup and Re-evaluate

 

Sunshine, my love

Whirlwinds tend to get everything and everyone

caught up in one big storm.

Yes, everything and everyone

Soon it dies down

The after effect however can often be seen for miles

Though  some will be unscathed

Others will be left picking up the pieces

This time around: You are apart of the other,

So the question is what will you do now?

Sometimes the easiest yet hardest decision is to run as far and fast as you can

That coupled by the chatter around you cheering you on

However, every night fall, every “love-less” night brings a different twist;

Should I stay or should I go?

The sad reality about whirlwinds, when they come it’s often without much warning. 

The hit fast and swift.

The ruin happy moments and create more turmoil in the midst of sad ones.

Whether good or bad, we can only rest, regroup and rebuild.

Every individual will have to rebuild in the way they see fit

It is never a “one hat fits all” situation

 

Over the past five years, I have realized my relationship and friendships

Have all experienced their whirlwind moments.

With each storm, I have had to rest and regroup.

Some storms, I had to rebuild the old structures with new safety measures

Others, I had to build completely new structures, in new environments

 

The most important lesson  I have learnt is that despite the pain

Not everything is replaceable

Not every bad situation is a sign to run away

If it once bought you love, happiness and peace

Sometimes, you need to think twice

So cry if you must

Then Rest, Regroup, Re-evaluate

And Rebuild as you see fit.
