...I hope you dance.

I think, sometimes, when a heart is healing you get pains in the same place it originally broke. And maybe, that's why it can take so long to heal, cause you fight it, because come on we aren't stupid... if something hurts us, we don't do it again. If we touch fire we know it burns. We DON'T touch it again! So this is basically forcing your mind to go back and touch fire. To say... I know it is gonna burn and sting and be horrible but DO IT!!! ... who would want to go back and do that? No one. But maybe we have to. Maybe that's the point. It isn't easy. It IS easy though, to fall in love. (and it is annoying. And inconvenient) That is why it is called falling. You just FALL into it. You don't have a choice... But the healing. That is where you have to make a choice. I am thinking. I am learning. You don't really choose when love is over either. It just happens. Sometimes it just doesn't work. Sucks. Because sometimes it is over for one before the other. Sometimes this, sometimes that, blah blah. Love is losing game. Love sucks. (But it is also awesome and wonderful and the best thing ever.) And that's life. It happens. So, then... it's over... and your poor little heart gets battered and beaten and you deal with it. And then you are okay, right? WRONG. Because it is weird things that pop up that prove the healing is not done. But what do you do??? This is when you man up and you have to deal with it. LET IT HEAL. LET IT HURT. TOUCH THE FIRE EVEN THOUGH IT BURNS. Because once it burns you AGAIN, in the same spot, well then whalla! a nice little scar will form and cover up that festering cut that was there. And then... healed! Finally. And I think this is the only way. But you gotta force it. You can't just sweep it under the rug and ignore it when things pop up. If the emotions come at you, don't ignore them. Grab them by the horns and ride like there is no tomorrow. Because the bull may not come back tomorrow. And then it is just gonna fester.

And this applies to this topic, but more importantly to life: Don't miss an opportunity.
