The Blood & The Bones

The thing about chaos is it makes you grow. At any level change, chaos, upheaval can bring you to the best things you’ve ever known. And the best things aren’t always easy. And neither are the best people. Nothing worth anything is always smooth sailing. The best people are the ones that force us to look at our own storms or chaos and find a way to get to the other side holding their hand. They are the ones that make us uncomfortable standing still .. they make us feel alive again even if some of that feeling is fear. They make want to be better, always. They want all the best things for you. And you for them.

And even if they are scared too they don’t let go. They hold on because they know what life was like before and that it will never be the same after having known you. That you are learning together about what life can be like on the other side of the storm.

And on the other side of it or even in the middle of their growth, if you are one of those people that wanted more for someone and they have dropped your hand forcing you to go, well, then you know you left them better at least or you pray you did. And, for very few or maybe only one, even though maybe you shouldn’t, you leave the door open just a little bit in case they decide to come back home.

I know all of this because I have been on both sides. My wish for all that I love is that they grow from the chaos in them and when the rain stops they look beside them and find that they are not alone.
