Post-Rant.

There comes a point in everyone's lives where there is no turning back. You know the next step you take will change everything for you. No, I am not talking slap-in-the-face-world-fall-of-its-axis shock. It is the subtle changes that will grow even more with every passing day. It is in the smallest gestures that others consciously perform around you. It is the subconscious impact that you have left when you pass that point of no return (as how Christine and Raoul sings it in The Phantom of the Opera).

You start wondering if it was the best move. You wonder if you might have cause more hurt than help. You wonder if others will judge you and treat you differently. Nonetheless, any point of no return will result in a change in attitude, behaviour, thoughts, and words. Again, it may not be sudden yet, the culmination of this can and will be seen in the future (or perhaps one is thinking too far ahead.. Again).

My leap of faith was sharing those dark moments in hopes that you see some light. It is a sinner, who has fallen from grace and was shown the way back to the light, that wants you to see that it is attainable to all who seek it. Maybe the message wasn't carried across coherently. Maybe the points you wanted to share were not connected to the questions.

What's done is in the past; don't cry over spilt milk unless you don't mind lapping it off the floor/table. Nobody wants to know that they were the cause of another's hurt, unless you're a sadist and that's your mojo. Jokes aside, you share what you hope can be a small beam of light or pillar of strength for another that you care for. I am not referring to affection for another individual who is emotionally connected to you; I am referring to affection you should have for all beings in this earth.

No one is above the beggar on the streets. No one is less innocent than a child. We all carry vices and wrongs that you can never fix no matter how you wistfully wish for it. Face it and deal with it.

At the end of the day, you are your strongest supporter, advocator, and confidante.
