Amelia's Shades of reflection

We must learn to endure what we cannot avoid.  Our life is composed, like the harmony of the world, of contrary things, also of different ones, sweet and harsh, sharp and flat, soft and loud.  If a musician liked only one kind, what would he have to say?  He must know how to use them together and blend them..  And so must we do with good and evil, which are con substantial with our life. Our existence is impossible without this mixture, and one element is no less necessary for it than the other.

................... in life.  Nothing at all.  Just had a conversation with a friend recently and I said just that.  No one owes me anything- regardless of my experiences, struggles, successes, generosity, kindness… BUT I owe it to myself and to anyone who comes in contact with me/has to be around me to be the best version of myself.   It falls in line with my mantra of never lamenting one’s conditions, meaning if you hate your job- find a new one, if you hate your partner or relationship- be brave, end it and move on.   But while you are still employed at said job or with said partner (etc, etc) continue to work at full capacity and with passion, continue

Thinking back in the past... I start to miss you....  I wonder if we will ever be the same again?  We used to be so strong.  Now if you look at us, we drifted so far apart.. Nothing is ever the same. The only way to mend us is to just talk more, like we used to. But I know you have asked me to talk to you..  But never I have the feeling of talking to you. 'Cause I wonder what I will say to talk about..I miss our talks, our long pointless conversation, our friendship, our past.  But now all they are, are just memories. Memories are the only things I can just look back and smile upon.  I just miss you. And maybe hope one day we can still go back to that amazing friendship we had. And I have always loved you, no matter what.
