Written October 28th, 2014 actually, but forever applicable.
It's called closure. When something that has been bothering you is confronted and resolution has been achieved. But I haven't really found a lot of closure in my life. Instead I find that Life...is really just about a bunch of loose ends. Some you can tie up in a pretty braid and knot at the end. Some you tie onto new strands as a continuation of some intricate and beautiful pattern. Some attack and try to strangle you. Some you leave as individuals blowing in the breeze, suspended as a lifeline for the future. Yet other strands are simply frayed beyond repair and need to be torn off and flicked into oblivion. I guess I have found that it is how you deal with the loose ends that have unraveled from the very fabric of your soul. I could say that right now I'm frayed, fuzzed, and unraveling. Or I can believe that my Life's fabric is stretching; adaptable and resilient; compensating; and becoming much more comfortable to wear, bringing peace in times of distress by simply giving room. Like my favorite sweatpants. Although I may have been a bit damaged along the way, I can still find comfort in knowing that even if I died tonight... I've lived - truly lived - a life that I can be proud of. - Me
