Member-only story

Love came knocking on my door.
I said, “I’m not sure if I’m ready to give up the heartache.”
The heartache gave me loneliness and clarity.
I became curious amidst my pain —
curious in an alive way.
Heartache had opened up a new direction.
I was shedding the old, embracing the new.
But, I see it now —
I can hold on to this new direction,
Even while inviting love in.
