Hyperbolic Streetlamps

Hey hey hay...find your horses!

I hope your day is going fabulously, and if you've just woken up (my, my, look at the time!) I hope it becomes fabulous. And if you're having a rough time, just remember you've got this. You are spectacularly striking and you have the ability to achieve whatever you are trying to achieve.

Anywho, welcome back. I bet you're wondering what today's post is going to be about, and frankly, so I am I. But I suppose today I want to talk about how loving someone or something does not always necessitate infinity. What I mean is, you can still love someone, even if they are not the same someone anymore, or have moved on. You can love what they were without continuing to be a part of what they are...does that make sense?

There is no sense in allowing hurt and pain and confusion to rule your actions, especially if it is caused by a single person. People are not, as God is, constant. The longer you are with someone, the more you find out about them. And sometimes, the more part isn't always easy to handle. In fact, it's usually not. And when that 'more' become detrimental to your mental, physical, or spiritual health, you need to learn when and how to move on.

This doesn't mean giving up on someone as soon as you see their weakness. That's when bonds should become stronger. It means, when someone reveals a part of themselves that doesn't support your weaker parts, and doesn't contribute to the wellness of your journey, it could be time to move on.

Moving on is hard; I understand that. I've had to do it several times. But in the end, it makes you stronger. It makes you realize that you are the only person who can control your happiness. And people are not, as God is, what we lean on when we're falling. He is the only Rock, the only one strong enough to hold all of our problems.

Now, don't get me wrong. We are to bear each other's burdens, to be invested in each other's lives. But we don't bear that weight alone; God does. And we can't 100% depend on any one person; we're all human. He is stronger than anyone here, and carries the weight of everyone who has ever lived, everyone who is going to live, and everyone who is living right now. If that's not something to put your faith in, then I don't know what is.

So remember, other people shouldn't be the determining factors in how you feel, or where you plan on going in life. God has that under control. It's awesome to remember that He is there, forever and ever, with a plan for ME. And you. And everyone. And when it is His will that we move on, then we are able to do just that: move on to a path that brings Him more glory and honor.

Stay shiny, my hyperbolic streetlamps, and stay strong.
