    The Return Home

    Dear Old Me,
    It’s been a while, I haven’t forgotten you. If you’re wondering what happened, well, a lot did. To simply explain, I lost you. I took my eyes off you for a second, and walked in the opposite direction. And with one distraction, I drifted away from you. A series of events took me down a road that I had to walk. A lesson had to be learned; wisdom to be earned. But just like Dorothy, I’ve found my way home. I’m too intelligent to be this negligent!
    I won’t place blame anywhere; it was my responsibility to handle you with care. I won’t indulge in the pain that took place, I’ve come out that dark space. Set my pride aside, stare you in the face and ask you for grace. I can see you in the distance. Slowly, I’m finding my way back to you. I followed your trail of tears, filled with joy and laughter, because that is who you are. Your dry humor jokes, only we understand, reach my ears. My path lit by the radiance of your smile. Stay right there because I’m coming towards you. I’m bringing a bag of wisdom, a heap of humility, and a hint of gratitude. No more distractions nor will i succumb to manipulative actions. Releasing the distraction of emotional attachment. 
    I remember the quiet mornings and peaceful nights. Thank God, reality found its place just soon enough for me to remember your face. What a gift from the Most High, to be reconnected to “I”. It shall be a beautiful reunion and a new beginning. I am coming for you! We will accomplish all those goals you had set and dreams you’ve dreamt! No more passiveness! This is your life and you can have it all… happiness most of all.

    • Rena, I know how it feels to lose yourself, and I also know how it feels to find your way back home. It is wonderful that you’ve made your way back to yourself. I love how you said “no more passiveness”. If we live our lives passively, we will never know our full potential. Thank you for sharing your experience!
