Let the storm happen!

Oh no. 

You see those gray clouds starting to hover over your hut that you’ve worked so hard to build and even harder to maintain. (mostly by yourself)

The meteorologist said that there will be heavy rains, gusty winds of 20 mph, loud thunder and consistent lightning. 

What the hell, right? 

Why did this have to happen now? When you’ve almost fixed the hut. Like seriously! 

You almost had it this time, your partner was almost, kinda, sorta exactly who you wanted (more so needed) them to be!

They were almost, kinda, sorta caring.

Almost, kinda, sorta loving.

They could’ve almost, kinda, sorta communicate with you better than before… kinda.

UGH. GEEZ. WHY NOW?

So, you pray that the storm gets cancelled. You pray for calm skies. 

Because you know, if that storm was to pass through, it’d take that rickety hut (aka the not so sweet relationship) with it. 

Mmm. Honey...

Let the storm happen. 

Why is it that we (yes we, cause I’ve been there) fear the idea of letting hurtful relationships finally collapse after they’ve been shaky for so long? We try our hardest to preserve them even after they’ve already started to spoil. (that’s that rotten fruit shit we don’t like)

I know; the whole idea of letting the storm happen sounds cute, but it’s the actual discipline to stand back and let things play out how they’re supposed to that takes practice and strength. 

Letting go of a relationship that you’ve invested so much energy, time, and soul into isn’t simple. It almost feels like a waste, I know. 

But, consider this…

None of it was in vein. See it as a lesson for what you don’t want moving forward. Consider it as you being released from constantly breathing life into something that was perhaps- already dead. 

Let the storm happen. 

You deserve strong fruit. You know, like the apple that falls from the tree, hits the ground and stays without a scratch. Not the one that pops open as soon as it hits the ground (we don’t want weak fruit!)

Solid foundations will prevail after storms have happened, they will remain solid even after winds have blown, floods have developed, and lightning has struck. 

Understand your worth. Understand that you deserve reciprocity. Lastly, understand that relationships take work, not hard labor mixed with frustration.

Go ahead, let that weak ole’ hut be weak and…

Let the storm happen.
