I went through a breakup back in January. So painful that I didn't write or talk about it. I chose about 3 people to talk about it and that was it. Now with time I feel completely healed. But back then, I felt dark, cloaked and sad. Nothing, no one attracted or interested me. I felt dead. 

Now there's a guy who I like and for the first time in almost a year I feel awake, alive, attracted to the world and the universe. People are commenting on how pretty I look! And I feel it! I How interesting. If I could go back in time to the Maria Cristina who was heartbroken back in January, I would tell her that everything was going be okay, that I would be fine... But I can't. All I can do is the next time I go through darkness and cloaking, remember that everything ebbs and flows. What was tense will one day release. What was broken will one day heal. May I have faith the next time I walk through darkness to know that there is nothing to be afraid of. That darkness itself is needed, maybe if anything so that we can then experience the light with even more awe and gratitude.
