Bloom Again

❝The struggles of life reach everyone, but never in the same way. Our emotions, our experiences, and how we deal with our lives, depends on who we are today. Sometimes, our emotions overwhelm us, and we let the past steer our future, as we are slaves of those good moments; because we never cared about being happy, and all we really wanted was to relive a precious memory.

These voices of the past keep us chained, burying us deeper beneath the weight of what once was, making us long for someone that's no longer there, praying that we'd meet again, even if it is as strangers.

But life is, and always has been, about the connections that truly matter, not about who we used to be. Because love, and I mean, real love, can destroy any barrier, break through our shells of solitude, bridge the distance, and even defy our beliefs that the universe is conspiring against us.

It’s the pain, the longing, the heartaches that remind us we're still alive, that we're still humans. And when we feel that deeply for someone else, when the word love seems to not suffice... even the smallest, most ephemeral moments can mean the world to us.

Moments don’t define a lifetime, but the people we share them with can. So why is it that we can't let go of them? New connections mean new memories, and a chance to leave the past behind. Because in the end, all that remains are the marks we leave on others, the way we touch other people's lives.❞
