What we hold.

🌹You have to give something to get something; it’s kind of a law. We all deserve a flame that feels safe to stand near, but life throws too much on our side that reigniting the blue flame becomes a journey itself. They don’t know, they never know, so how can you blame them?
You are a gentle sword. You feel the need to protect them and not yourself, and when you accidentally unsheathe it, you are forced to face them. A dilemma unfolds: to keep the sword bare or to sheath it.
It is an internal turmoil for the one who knows. But one person’s realization does not speak for both of you. It has to go both ways for it to work, to give, and to receive. But at times, how do you know what to give, and when to receive? How do you know what will hurt less when everything is so fragile? It is emotionally walking on glass: hope and fear sharing the same room. You don’t have to choose now, maybe tomorrow.
Life moves in seasons and mostly lives in small, gentle choices. You’ve got to learn how to hold the flame without burning yourself or anyone else, my dear.💐
