Empty, Lonely and Used

There are so many wonderful things in life. Things many take for granted. I know I am guilty of taking things for granted. Seeing nature all around you. Seeing God's greatest creation, the Earth and all is belongings, should make one stop and think. It should make one stop to say, "wow!" So many don't give these things a second glance. The wonders of life so many take for granted are countless. One in particular that weighs heavy on my heart is walking life with a partner. Someone to depend on in any situation at any time.

Seeing life this far has been fun and games. I do not appreciate the old any longer. I have a hankering for something new, exciting, and thrilling. It must be true, not blemished with a false pretense or an intangible future. I would like to be able to have this person help me find myself, and allow me to help that person find out who they really are and what they want in life. Building a life with someone else builds an ultimate connection. A connection that will last through all time and all hardship.

When one finds that person, they should not let him or her go without a fight! Letting go is the hardest thing to do in life. Whether it be something small like an old shirt or some thing large like letting go of a relative who has passed on. Letting go is part of life though. Brings in new and refreshes the soul. At first it may not seem so refreshed, but when you hit the point of understanding, the soul seems to be refreshed and ready for the next opportunity.

As much as feeling empty, lonely, and used hurts; it is a nature course of life. A course everyone has to walk in one way or another. Only time is the agent that can heal this part of the soul. So don't forget to let time heal. And try not to get too frustrated and worried about never getting to the new refreshed part of life that comes after the emptiness, loneliness, and feelings of being used go away. Patience is the best tool to endure time.
