A Love Letter from my Soul- Part I
Dear Crystal,
It’s been awhile since we’ve been in touch. I know that our relationship should be close but it just seems as though we lost the connection we once shared. We were so in tuned with each other. We were best friends!!! We used to take time to do things that were very important to both of us. Do you remember how we used to wake up really early in the mornings? Meditation and prayer were a daily ritual and obsession we both shared. We knew that it was the best way to start the day and to be the best version of ourselves. It was a big part of who we were. You slowly did that less and less till you didn’t nudge me to wake up. Our day began in such a rush. We had so many things running through our minds. The peace we used to have quickly faded.
Suddenly, when you looked in the mirror I couldn’t recognize US anymore. It’s as though we became separated at some point without my knowledge. It was as though we were not embodied within each other. It seemed that the light that was once lit dimmed and it was difficult to see our way. The journey of life truly burdened us and you allowed it to tear us apart. I was so upset with you for such a long time. I couldn’t understand why so many other things were more important. I guess I should have been more understanding that you had a family, work to attend, school assignments to complete, a household, and friends. Your to-do- list of what mattered became so long that where we stood on the list became too far to reach. You had a husband and children to raise and I know its important to care and love them, but it was all you cared about. You forgot about the bond we had. The authentic love we shared. The you and me should have been a priority! I knew the real you and was very accepting of all you embodied and represented. I knew of your beautiful flaws. I saw through the fears you tried to mask to all those outside. I knew the goals you wanted to accomplish. It was difficult being the one to observe what was happening to you. I watched how you walked through life daily with your head down. You didn’t know the direction you were heading because you allowed yourself to be blinded by all the roles, heartache, and fears of life you encountered. Years just seemed to pass us by.
Then something interesting happened. Life started happening for you….. I mean you felt as if it was happening to you. But I was happy that as much as you were hurting and going through things I began to see you awakening from the slumber you drastically fell into.
Letter to be continued........
