One Balanced Life

I have a friend, whose partner, ended their almost year long relationship via a text message. Yep not kidding. Ouch.

As we talked I said "It is like this...you lived the story of you two and some of the pages were missing. And I get it - you are trying to make sense of the story but as you go back and reread - it still isn't going to make sense. Someday, you will realize that in addition to the pages and perhaps chapters that were ripped out - not by you, there were pages you chose not to read. Write your own ending. Close the book. Start a new one. This is your chance to write your story."

"When there's big disappointment, We don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure." Pema Chodron
