Thursday, Nov 4 2010 - A tale of two...
View PRNCSSGRL's food & exercise for this day
Two stand together.
Theyve known each other their entire lives.
Only ever Separated by fear.
Brought together by that same fear.
One afraid to live the life she was meant to live.
The other afraid to open her eyes to the possibilities.
One afraid to move forward and never look back.
The other afraid to let go.
One afraid to not have the other.
The other afraid of not being needed.
They look into the eyes of the one before them.
One puts her arm around the other.
Whispers:
Thank you.
Thank you for protecting me until I was ready. It wasnt easy to stand here all this time while I figured out when I should take control. It wasnt easy to stand here and wish that I would move forward knowing it wasnt going to happen this time or that time. It wasnt easy knowing that I would try to make changes and then fall deeper into my depression. It wasnt easy standing here year after year wondering if it was ever going to happen. It wasnt easy carrying the burden of hate and self doubt. It wasnt easy looking into the mirror and wishing for just one moment I would look up and see the potential that you knew I had. You are brave. You are patient. You are the most beautiful person I know.
The other whispers:
I love you
I am scared to leave. I am sad that you no longer need me but I knew I couldnt be here forever to protect you. I only stayed as long as I needed too and now that time has come. You will survive. Fear no longer controls you. The past no longer controls you. I did what I could to protect you until you decided enough was enough. When you stood up and took that first step to becoming the woman you were meant to be I knew our time together was coming to an end. Do not miss me. If you do not keep moving forward I will come back and that is something I do not want to do. I love you but we cant be together anymore. You must continue to do what it is you were born to do: LIVE.
They are afraid to let go.
A lifetime together.
One final embrace of understanding.
One walks away.
The other left alone.
She looks down.

The impossible
Possible.

Good job,Tara.
It takes courage to stand on your own, but it is a priceless gift of strength.
