Randomness...an appropriate heading for this post to fall under. I had forgotten about this site until today, and who knows what made it come to my mind. I have never kept a journal before, or written a blog, or even commented on a post by someone else...so why now? Who knows? Maybe I like the fact that I can create something new out of something that seems to be so forgotten. A remembrance forgotten...that's what The Secret Hideaway has become. Nobody has posted on here in months, and I joined a long time ago because the creator of this site is very special to me. Now it truly does feel like a secret hideaway, a place to travel when reality becomes too exhausting. Maybe I have never wanted to publish my musings because expressing how I truly feel has not always been my forte. Perhaps I thought if I wrote my feelings down for others to see, it would force me to face them head on.
Sunrise…most times I am my name: happy, cheerful, loving life and everyone in it. I love that name, my own special nickname. But sometimes I let the other part of my personality get the better of me. My alter-ego…Lightning. Volatile, quick-tempered, unpredictable. Clouds mask the sun, and blot out its warmth. The storm may not endure for long, but proves fraught with danger.
There are times in life when you feel so utterly lost and forgotten by those who claim to love you the most. You get to the point where you almost give up all hope in the concept of love. Then someone comes into your life and erases all negativity and cynicism. They make you believe, they restore your faith. And those people...they are the ones who will probably hurt you more than you have ever been hurt in the past. The circle of life truly does come full circle.
And then, it is the memory of that same person, all the little remembrances you had forgotten long ago, that flood your mind, heart, body, and soul. The deluge overwhelms your spirit…and the sun shines brighter than ever before.
