If you’ve been swimming your heart out, following something or someone, that can’t be caught, then try to resist the urge to swim faster.Try to stop, and listen, and look, not only at the behavior of what you’re chasing but at your own behavior!.Chances are you can’t do anything about his or her patterns, but you can do everything about your own.Keep this picture in your head!Out of breath, stopped in the warm embrace of the water.Looking and seeing for the first time what you’ve been doing.And realizing you don’t have to go there after all.Then think of all the time and all the energy you’ll have for a different kind of relationship; a relationship that will nurture you, excite you, make you feel safe and fill your heart with hope.Swim back to shore and find it.
I did it!
I just did!
