IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Live The Life You Want

Sharing different aspects of life all in one place

She watched the tulip fall and heard the soft thud when it landed on the coffin at the bottom of the grave.

Alone at the grave, she had no more tears to cry. Those have disappeared days ago, and left only irritation.

Anger.

They had so many plans. To travel. Buy a house. Plans for when they retired. Every conversation they had, their eyes lit up when making plans for ‘one day’.

Now that day would never come.

He died.

What about their plans?

A low groan boiled from deep inside, threatening to escape as a scream. She suppressed it. Cursed him for leaving her. Chastised herself for always putting things off for ‘one day’. They were always working.

And making plans.

The shaking of her shoulders was as unexpected as the sob echoing in his grave.

She fell to her knees, tears landing on his coffin and in that moment she knew: I have to live our dreams.

Every couple of weeks, two friends (May More & Posy Churchgate) and I will share a mix of ten of our stories you may have missed when we first published them. This is the second in the series, with posts about life…

Marie Rebelle: I write about my creative journey through life, and how much I love to share.

Posy Churchgate: This one is about beginning and keeping to my new discipline of bullet journalling.

May More: A true tale about my infatuation with my step cousin when I was only fifteen.

Marie Rebelle: My thoughts about the three strong women in my life who helped me build my strength.

Posy Churchgate: Explaining how one particular track in the score to a film (Be Cool) has a very personal meaning for me.

May More: A poem about the strong desire to be free.

Marie Rebelle: A friend sharing a dream sparked this post where I share strange recurring dreams of myself.

Posy Churchgate: So many moments in life are learning opportunities, so I celebrate some of my teachers and mentors in this post.

May More: I delve into my thought process as I wonder why some people are so easily manipulated.

Marie Rebelle: A post about doing the work we have to do to handle the curveballs life throws us, and to make life what we want it to be.

If you have a link to one of your articles dealing with any aspect of (your) life which readers may have missed, then why not add it in the comments section: How about it?
