Thierro Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I see that your heart has been smashed to pieces. I see that your hands are filled with glue trying to fix it. You’re wet and you are shivering. I noticed you stranded here on the beach, you crashed your boat. You still aren’t very aware of what has happened to you. It’s ok! We have all been there and some still are. I want you to meet some people. Follow me to the big campfire right over there where you hear other people talking and laughing. Man, they are amazing. They are called the Love Shack community. Let’s sit around the fire with them and introduce yourself. You need to dry up first and get some food in your stomach. We will listen to your story when you are ready. See all those unknown faces? You will get to know them, you already do in a way, they share the same story and emotions that you are going through right now. Isn’t that great that there are people that know how you feel and have the knowledge to change everything around? There are a lot of elderly around here. Listen to them carefully, they know what they are talking about. The guy next to his motor cycle is called Caliguy. A respected member around here. Same goes for the well-build USMCHokie and Mr Greyclouds. You will get to know them in time when you stick around. That girl with the large back-pack on her shoulder is a regular around here. She comes and goes because she’s just enjoying the group and likes to be around here. Oh, do you see that guy on the right? That one with the big smile? Pay attention to him, because you will have that smile too when you are ready. Now take a look at that ship next to him. Doesn’t it look fancy? We build it all together for him, but he actually did the most part of it. Tomorrow he is going to set sail for his first time after a long period of hurt and recovery. He is a better man now and his self-worth and love has increased significantly. He’s ready, just like you will be! You know, we have all been stranded here. We all crashed our boat at the beach where I met you. We are your family, your support group. We are going to help you to get your smile back, give you a new boat so you can set sail and meet the horizon and new adventures. We will make sure that your boat is going to be stronger and you will have more experience sailing, so even though we can’t prevent you from stranding again, you know that you are more capable of taming the ocean. Good luck, we are there for you.
mickleb Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 This is so lovely, Thierro. (Should be posted in the break-up forum, too, I reckon. ) Thank you. x
Author Thierro Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 No problem. It’s my own interpretation of LS that I wanted to share. I don’t know if double posting is an issue around here, but I will post it in the Break-up forums as well. Hopefully some people will find comfort in the story.
