Is there anything more frightening than losing the love of your life? A few angry actions, too many harsh words, a lie or three and suddenly you have ended up falling into a well of self doubt and angry, hurt and rage, and you are alone. There are too many times when the heart breaking feels like it will never recover.
I want stories of love lost and then found. I want tales of both sides of the coin, the ugly and the beautiful- the tears and the yelling, along with the butterflies in your stomach and the joy springing to your eyes. I want stories that will give me hope for something better.
Below is something that has been haunting me since about 5 am this morning. Use it for inspiration- take the feel of it and try to see the meaning that lies deep withing.
"Suddenly a force so strong that it seemed to obliterate everything flew through the very air, sliding in between the space of cells and dreams, paper thin but sharper than any razor. Rage, Hurt, Misery, Accusations and Self Denial, Anger at life and the darker side of Need and Desire....nothing was forgotten and it was forced into the tiny places in the heart. But it was the all uncompromising love that surged through the core of the very world, cracking it even as it came together with an odd soft click, like to pieces coming together. Doubt lingered, a sulfuric stain on the sense, but it was Love, Love that allowed a tiny sprout of Hope that made the world not fade into nothingness."
I know that you have it in you to hurt and rejoice, to love and to scream in rage. I want you to put it on paper... and then I want you to see the positiveness and give me something to believe in.
