Let there be Grief

"Contrary to that popular belief, what I have come to realize is this: Grief is not the enemy, it's just Love's army. It is Love's way of telling you that it is still there, somewhere. It is the reminder. It is the signal that you live on, that you have truly Loved...When it comes to someone you love, you don't move on. You carry on."
-- Anj Danila, An Entry on Grief

It's a refreshing take on grief. I remember saying before that when i get hurt, i don't totally move on, i just carry with me the load of being hurt until i get numb. I, as a feeling person, try to live each day while grieving for things and people whom I can't be with anymore. It's true, for as long as you find it in your heart to grieve, it just makes you remember that you are still capable of loving. It's a nice thought to ponder on, I've always seen myself as someone uncapable of totally giving love but after realizing that each day, i feel pain.. then I am able to accept that i still can love. I am still loving, despite and inspite of the trade offs.
