Living or Nah?

I used to think I was an old school, traditional sort of woman… But it as it turns out, maybe not as much as I thought.

Life’s experiences have a way of changing us and shifting our perspectives and thoughts on situations, relationships, and even our values.

I realized that what used to matter to me, doesn’t matter anymore. I used to work until no end. Wanting to leave my mark..

Then the kids got older.

I felt like life was passing me by while I was trying to build a life… So I started living. I learned the value of time.

I realized that I love loving others. Only.. I’m not used to accepting love from anyone. Love is giving. True. But in order for love in any relationship to grow and flourish, there has to be a give and take.

I didn’t know that before.

It took almost losing one of the most important relationships in my life to figure it out.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to start living and don’t wait until you’ve lost to love.
