Wandering flushes a glory that fades with arrival

Hope is lost only if you decide to let go of its hand. Don’t let go, and there will always be hope.

Relieve yourself of your mental burdens, and leave them in their rightful places. Free yourself from their grasp and look forward onto the brighter things that are awaiting you.

It’s been a long while since I’ve posted and said anything about my life here. Since then I’ve lost my son in utero and that’s made such a huge impact on me. The last year has been fucking horrible with the thought that I’ll never hold Beckett in my arms or teach him how to play an instrument or take pictures. I’ll never get to travel with him. I think about him every fucking day and it hurts. But ya know what? In losing him, I’ve found a strength I didn’t know I had. I’ve found something inside me that’s allowed me to push past all this. I tried killing myself because the grief was so fucking overwhelming. The family I had so quickly crumbled to nothing. I lost myself. I lost who I wanted to be. I lost all sight of my goals and I’m finally starting to get that back. Not only am I getting it back but I’m making me a better me. Someone that can provide for myself and my family. Someone that can bring the best they can to the table in any situation that arises in life. I’m making a name for myself in every aspect of my life and I’m not letting fear hold me back anymore. I’m going to make myself into a man my son could have been proud of because one day his future siblings are going to be able to be proud to call me dad and I’m going to love them with everything I have.
Relationships are scary and complicated ONLY when you start thinking of your partner as some kind of adversary.
You know how to stop being scared of relationships? Remember that it’s got a goddamn buddy system *built in*. That’s all a relationship IS: “Let’s approach life with the buddy system.”
Check on your buddy. Make sure your buddy doesn’t forget their lunch box on the schoolbus. Hold hands with your buddy so you don’t get lost. If your buddy wants to look at the monkey cage, look at the goddamn monkey cage with them. If you are the one looking at the monkey cage, ask your buddy what they want to do next, and when they want to feed the giraffe, help them find a quarter for the little food dispenser. Be a good buddy, and if your buddy isn’t a good one too, tell the teacher and ask for a new one.
This isn’t fucking rocket science, people.
I have reblogged this before. I will reblog it again. And it’s not just romantic relationships: it’s family members and friends as well.
This kind of woke my ass up because of the amount of times I’ve had a buddy who didn’t check on me, didn’t want me to check on them, but didn’t want me to leave.
