How do you fill the void when what was is no longer? Do you choose to fill it with the pieces of yourself? You may find, as some have, a part of yourself to be renewed in the gaps of the present moment with the goal of coming to terms with the past – a final acceptance of a life that is no more.
When we break away from the world and see ourselves for who we truly are, we’re able to reflect upon the contours of our soul. Once done, we can then look with unshielded sight at the life that we live and the one we want to have. This is the greatest gap of all. For once realized, all others diminish in comparison and we are left with a choice: pursue out of the hope of possibilities or shyly return to what we once knew even if it is now but a faded memory.
Which path will you take when the choice is upon you? Hopefully the former, but regardless of the result, do not fret. For accepting the choice we just made is as important as knowing that we will have the opportunity to make another right after. And those are the moments that truly fill the gaps of our continued existence.
