My open letter to all of those in search of their True North- (Yes i wrote this, and yes i know its long.. But please read it anyways.. Trust me, its well worth it). ▪It took me a long time to see it. My eyes were closed, my mind was clouded, and my heart guarded. The truth was always there in front of me. like a window that was fogged over from the heavy breathing, of all the tears i shed. Love-it wasnt always what we were taught. It wasnt just about one person who comes along and takes your heart, and saves you from your pain. It wasnt about needing someone to complete you. It was all about meeting people who were meant to push you into loving and completing yourself. Love was/and is about falling for all the things in a person that means something to you, that remind you of who you are, and what you are fighting to overcome. We dont live this life to merely have one soul mate. We have many over the course of our lifetime, all genders. They are our best friends, our closest family members, and sometimes strangers weve met by some crazy circumstance. True love, Our True North, is all a search, a journey we take to find happiness and wholeness. ▪True Love doesnt come like a fairy tale, or an accident. You cannot find it by forcing it to happen. The one we are intended to be with, comes when we have been slapped awake by all of the others that we met and fell for along the way. You see we need the heartbreak, the tears, the pain and the goodbyes. We need the long winding roads, and the seemingly endless storms. Because without them, we would never have the wisdom, strength and courage to know when the one is right in front of us. We find them when we have exhausted our selves from the journey, when we are so hungry for love that weve finally learned to love ourselves, and accepting the assistance of others. Our soul mates are the people we encounter in our journey, who remind us of what our souls need, and dont to find that true north. And when we find them, it will be a moment like no other. Youll pass each other as you reach your destination. Youll share a look, a glance. And there it is, the one youve ignored, the one you never expected, or thought existed. And in that moment youll thank all those who hurt you, youll be glad for all the roadblocks, the tumbles and falls, and mistakes. The wrong turns, and breakdowns. Everything youve been through has lead you to this moment and to this person who has been through all of the same kind of shit. ▪And you realize, True love isnt about finding your prince charming, or perfect princess. But about loving and being loved by all those people that make you see your own light, that open you up enough to see that our souls can never really be held by one person. They are intended to be free. Because without that freedom, we would miss that beautiful encounter with the one person that would set you a flight, and smile as you spread your broken wings and come back to do it all again. My point in all of this is; never underestimate love, never hold it to one ideal, and think it is all just going to fall into your lap. Dorothy didnt reach Oz and get back home, by walking alone on a straight perfect path. She needed the tornado, the hard fall, and her eyes to be opened to a new world. To have the help of friends who were also in the search for happiness. She needed the roadblocks, the twisted pathway, and danger that slapped her awake. That made her realize the power was within her along. ▪Nothing worthwhile is EVER easy. So let yourself be cracked open, because thats when the one will come along. And I must tell you that It wont be each others perfections that youll recognize. But their scars, for theyve been on the same journey to be in that same place as you, in that one moment, that you now know was well worth every trial. Your struggle will reveal your strength, and with it Your True North will have been found.
