A Little Less


I'm sad a little less. I miss a little less. I reach out a little less. I cry a little less. I remember a little less.

But, I enjoy a little less. I celebrate a little less. I smile a little less. I live a little less.

Someday I'll fear a little less. I'll question a little less. I'll hurt a little less.

I want to laugh more, play more, sing more, dream more.

But I don't. So for now I just feel a little less.

    When YOU smile less, there is a lot less...I hope you feel sunnier when the sun comes back out.

    Been there, gone through all that at least once before. You will start doing "more" eventually.

    Not sure what's happened but I feel it. Just know it's part of the process. :)

    I read this post hours ago and wanted to comment, but didn't know what to write.

    I understand how you feel. Someday will soon be the present.

    I understand your feelings perfectly. I don't know what to tell you though, because I'm still going through it myself.

    The numbness is part of the process and inside its cocoon your heart is healing. Not a great place to be but eventually it will emerge - to laugh, play, sing and dream... Hearts are braver than they sometimes seem. Honestly. Be gentle with yourself.

    I know the feeling. Surround yourself with friends. This too shall pass.

    dont worry. i've been there too, and although it takes time and time and moree time until you think you've just got to get used to this new guarded version of yourself- it'll happen again. you'll feel again and let yourself love again, slowly, cautiously. it'll be scarier the next time around because you know what kind of hurt you mind end up with or cause, but that's how it goes. And without so much risk- and the awareness of that risk- it wouldn't be so worth it when it finally does work out in the end.

    this coming from a pretty cynical, once-devastatingly-heartbroken gal.
