Yesterday I spent the early afternoon with one of my regular clients, a lovely lady who has become a favorite to me. Her 100 and a 1/4yr old mother died just a month ago and since she has found a bundle of photos, of herself and an ex partner from 40yrs back in her mums stash of yesteryear. She told me how, this bloke was the love of her life, they were engaged to be married yet regrettably, she gave him the flick and soon married a different guy that promised her security. Which was a big mistake she proclaimed. This other guy goes by the name of "arsehole" to be clear. As we sat looking at these photos, she looked me in the eye and said leaving this man was the biggest mistake she's ever made, and that she can't believe after finding these photos 40yrs on, her heart is still breaking for him. She has found herself in tears, not over the death of her mother but of him. It has been the biggest regret of her life.
So the moral to this story is to chase your dreams even if the world around you says otherwise. Follow all the signs to your happiness and leave no space for doubt to grow. Love who your heart loves, give yourself and let your self be given to. Because 40yrs down the road you don't want to be sitting on the edge of your bed, heavy hearted with your carer telling them that you missed your chance at real love.
"Life disappears very quickly, like something written in the water with a stick."
