This is a little section cut out of a document titled "Thoughts" on my laptop. It was my first entry there, and it's now my first entry here. Just a few things to think about...
I find it truly amazing how our extreme highs can plummet to endless-pit lows in just a couple hours. You can be soaring to the highest heights when all of a sudden a thunderstorm comes out of nowhere, lights your wings on fire, and sends you hopelessly falling into an abyss of loneliness and depression. The ease of this transition from high to low is not reciprocated when trying to go from low to high. Never.
Unless there is something in your life, someone, that has the ability to catch you before that eternal abyss swallows you whole. That something, that someone, can make you fly to new heights that you never thought were possible, yet somehow knew that that special someone could help you reach. They have the biggest heart, the most welcoming arms, the softest shoulders, the most attentive ears, the brightest smile, the friendliest greeting, and the purest soul. They are truly our saviors. Our guardian angels. Our best friends.
But what if we lose him? What happens when she becomes someone, something, we cannot begin to understand? The one person who could rescue us from any danger - the one hope we had in a world filled with darkness, deceit, death, crime, and faults - the only thing standing between us and that abyss - now just a memory. Is nothing but a memory of the perfect friend better than our worst fears confirmed before our eyes? Can we live with someone who has changed so much? Would they do the same for us? Can we simply overlook our differences and continue on in life as if nothing has happened? Or is it our job as the protected to speak up? Do we fight for something, that someone, we hold dear to our hearts or sit idly by as they continue down a path we cannot follow? Again, I ask, would they do the same for us?
