It waits for you...

Sometimes my heart hurts so much, I beat it with my fists. I try to run. But you cannot run from this. It waits for you. Even when you think you have escaped it, it is there. ~Klaus Kinski

Sometimes when things bring us pain it is so that we can grow into better people, the hurt teaches us lessons from compassion to caution. However, when we are not able to release that pain and move forward with our newfound intelligence, that is when we can become so bogged down with negativity that we can no longer see our path. Struggling beneath the weight of our disappointments and injuries we will grow tired and unable to continue forward. So, in order to correct this, we must begin the painstaking task of shedding that baggage so that we will have our arms free to embrace tomorrow’s promise.

That is the purpose of this blog. Over the years I have locked away part of myself that I wish to explore. That part is still wounded and sad, but a very important piece of the elana puzzle. I have realized that I cannot be complete as long as I continue to ignore that side of myself. So, my journey to self-discovery begins.

Deep breath elana, what you will find at the end of this pilgrimage will be greater than all the gold at the end of the rainbow.
