Knuckle Up

For days within this life she had thought she was just being punished. She thought all the people who were supposed to be her friends, best friends, were forgetting about her. She had often questioned why she was putting herself in situations to be surrounded by them if she always felt this way. And then the one love who would never leave her reassured her these people were in her life for a reason. These drifters per say weren't here to punish her. The situations she put herself in weren't meant to be unrewarding either. If that were the case they would never occur. After all things often seem to happen for reasons. But these situations were meant to teach her something in the end. It took one statement from that never leaving love for this all to click. She had tried forcing herself mentally to think this already but the wisdom that woman spoke sealed it. So sealing like that lick on the envelope before love letters are sent overseas. Everyday still she struggles with facing the changes of abandoned friendships but everyday she knuckles up to learn the meaning behind it.
