A single crisp blank page. An entire secluded abyss that separates the chapters in my life. The divider that gives me choice. Am I brave enough to turn that page and see what’s to come? Pause for a moment in time to appreciate this God given lull. The first few chapters were so full of constant turmoil. Turn the page and continue reading inspite of the risk of greater damage. Or embrace this moment of peace like it is the last I’ll ever get? Perhaps mark this page, write my own bridge to the final chapters. Give myself a chance. Will this story end in happily ever after? Will I ever know if I don’t jump to take that risk? I write my bridge and free fall into the next portion of my story. God hates a coward and I live for adventure. The bridge consists of the most powerful three words that have ever existed in my story. 

I forgive you. 

And with the full realization of what that meant. I was set free. 

Someone. 

You ever meet someone who makes you question everything you thought you knew. Someone you don’t have to walk on eggshells with because their foundation is more like solid granite. Someone who shows you their love isn’t based off of how well you do in school or how physically attractive you are or how well you suit their needs. Someone who’s effort matches your own and who’s love is just as unconditional and all inspiring. You ever meet someone who brings you out of the shell that took you years to build but only months for them to break away. Someone who understands your struggle and without further question helps you become all you’ve wanted to be. Someone who notices a change in your demeanor and evicts the horrible worrisome thoughts. Someone that on some level you’ve had a deep connection with that inexplicable transcends time. Someone like that comes around once in a lifetime. They’re your soulmate.
