I used to feel sick with bitterness about the disloyalty my ex-girlfriends had shown me during our past relationships together. It took me a long time, but I don’t feel that way anymore. Honestly, looking back, I really can’t blame them. I understand now that fidelity is a prize that comes only to those who have completely and utterly sacrificed their selves to mastering their art - whatever that may be. You have to be a king at your own game, of your world, to gain loyalty and respect. Once achieved, perhaps fidelity is the last thing one will even care about - women will become abundant. It’ll be in their best interests to remain as such, not yours. Now I know better, you best believe it’s coming.

“Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.” - Emery Allen

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

IT’S ABOUT GROWING UP
It realize that part of the spiritual journey for humans is to grow up emotionally. Our souls come into this world to learn life lessons. Through these lessons, we begin to learn the truths about ourselves, awaken to our reality, and change our smaller selves to become closer to who we really are as soul beings. This has been a rude awakening for me to find out that I have lived at the emotional age of an eight year old as that was when I was abused as a child. Our souls live these lives while remaining at these emotional ages until we choose to face our truth and reality, and begin to change our beliefs, behaviors, and finally ascend and return to emotional state of our souls.
As part of my growth, I bought a house and have begun to live a life that I have been afraid of living. One that requires me to take care of myself, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I always felt daunted by a house, my own family, and taking care of others. My way to independence is to face my fears, one small step at a time. My first step was to assemble my first piece of furniture that is the above kitchen cart with my new drill that I recently purchased.
It only took me 5 hours, but I did it. I am proud of my new achievement as it is outside of my comfort zone to tackle the responsibilities of a homeowner with furnace and hot water heater problems, repairs, and financial responsibilities. However, I am not dissuaded as I push onward and forward into my new life of a homeowner. I am well on my way, and believe it or not, I am happy.
