On occasion I catch myself saying something that might actually be mistaken for profound. In the wee hours of the morning Jij and I were chatting, working through a sticky situation. (Ok, that's kind of a lie. I feel powerless to actually work anything out. I don't know what to do for her. "M. Chevalier", the gentleman whom we both have, erm... situations... revolving around, is inadvertently wreaking havoc on poor Jij... It makes me sad to see her struggle like this. She is a one woman army. It takes a LOT to get to this girl. But M. Chevalier gets to her. That's a story for another post....
Anyhow, "my moment". We were discussing the idea that the harder you fight, the harder you fall. On some level I believe that. However, (here it comes)
"They say that the deeper you love and the harder you fight the farther you fall... I think that's true, but being someone who loves deeply, I wouldn't change it. The fall is worth the sheer bliss of deep and true love. And I believe that a good fight teaches us more about ourselves that nearly anything else. It is better to go all the way and learn and find joy than to sit waiting for something to happen" (At 2 in the morning it was riddled with typos and not worded so well, but that's what happens when I attempt to type out a deep thought at 2 AM at awkward angles on my laptop... And the sentiment is the same, typo-ed or not)
I stand by it either way. Love with all you have. Live passionately. Laugh from your very core. Choose to be happy. Hard times will come, they are often unavoidable. Choose to learn, choose to grow. Don't back down. It will pay off.
Sometimes the Lord just lets it rain. Occasionally it feels like He lets it MONSOON. So learn to "dance in the rain"... In your best dress. FEARLESS! (Thanks Taylor Swift :)
