A Promise

"I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you" (from the Book of Genesis)

Through these tears... I can see better!

Life is a long cathartic process and relationships are the real tests. I just underwent a catharsis, which I believe, should have, could have happened much much earlier. But then, as they say, there is a time for everything under the sun. Just when I was beginning to wonder 'Why me?' a picture perfect situation emerged - so much like a silver lining in the clouds (I know it is a cliched usage but I myself am a cliched individual who pretends to be unique)!

I still do not have the answers for everything but I know that not having answers need not be disastrous. I still am confused but I know that confusions are inevitable. I still hesitate, I still pause, I still procrastinate... but I can reach out through the hesitations and pauses and procrastinations. I still smile with a frown but I'm glad that I smile. And, I learn again that life never stops teaching you. The better the learner, the harder the lessons!

Tears are precious and they let you come out clean through the catharsis. I'm blessed with lots of people around me who can make me happy and laugh out loud; am forever grateful for their presence. But there are a few, very few, who know what makes me cry - and they are the ones who are the dearest to me, who hold my hands through life, who I know will never let go... They have always cared enough to break through the walls that I had put up. They got hurt too while trying to bring the walls down. I saw them hurting and bleeding but I wanted to ignore . . . This goes out for them... to let them know that I was not being callous or selfish ... just plain scared! Thanks for staying through my fear.

--Yours Virtually
