attempt to do things differently, to look at things differently, too.

Acknowledge that the magic is gone.
After all, you cant find what you never even admitted was missing in the first place.

Freddie Addery
Retrace your steps trying to find it.
So, start seeking what you know you once loved.
Look for your misplaced hope in all of those familiar spots where it used to hide.

The bottom of a wine glass.
Within the characters of your comfort TV shows.
In the pages of your old favorite books.
Slowly begin to notice that all of those places youve been and adored seem so very different now.
Its just not the same.
Understand its probably because youre no longer the same either.
Wonder if you could ever go back to who you were.
Come to terms with the fact that you cant and maybe you dont want to after all.
Take the hint that no reunion will be planned, no moment of clarity will be had.
Accept the incompatibility of what once was with what now is.
Forget trying to figure out what shifted.
Understand that this is nothing but a distraction from what you must do next.
venture to do things differently, tolookat things differently, too.
Be thrilled that you get to have your morning cup of coffee on the front porch.
That is how you fall back in love with your life.
