Past and Peace

  It was the closure I never knew I needed, it came in a dream, and I woke up with the vividness still lingering in my mind. All the hurt deeply rooted in the unspoken pain I ignored for years was given a much-welcomed atonement. He came to me in a dream, we were both surprised to see each other, and I felt the emotions I once felt for him; the moment I saw him from afar; my heart raced with excitement and gladness, a moment where I thought I belonged to someone, I am his, he was mine, and everything around us went a blur.

The moment of leaving is a painful abandonment, sometimes we measure our worth by the people who leave us, are we not good enough? Or simply, are we not enough? But in that clouded moment of self-measurement, we forget that to be given away is to reclaim the freedom we once anchored ourselves to on the person we handed ourselves with. We can now sail to a different place without the weight of the past, we can navigate a different perspective, unchartered and unknown- like a new adventure awaits. But this time, we are able to map out through our experiences those paths we will never cross again. It gives us a better judgment on where to maneuver our lives to find a better sanctuary, so that, finally when the fated moment arrives, we can safely hand our anchor to that person whom our hearts will call home.
