My dearest Brother shared his status today and I think it sums up what I initially intended to blog about..... Newness.
"You'd think relationships would be easier when you're older.
Being older means being wiser. You've already made your mistakes, therefore learnt from them.
You'd be dead wrong. For the same reasons.
The experiences that you've gone through leave you in a hypersensitive state. You constantly anticipate the actions and intentions of your partners, trying to build walls where imaginary wrecking balls will be knocking through you. You spend more energy trying to protect yourself and less building on what you already have.
In the end, you end up worse that you were before. Bitter, jilted, with less hope for the next try.
Relationships when you're older are a land mine, but should you be lucky enough to manoeuvre through it and reach a place where you understand and trust each other, they are better than anything you ever had in your earlier years."
Mark Mutiso.
Newness isn't about guarding yourself, changing how you look, how you feel, or changing what you do..... Newness is all about throwing caution to the wind and disregarding every heartbreak, every tear drop and every sleepless night you've ever had.
Newness is seeing life in a whole different light.
