Black Holes

Someone once told me not to let ‘black holes’ develop in relationships. A fight or problem creates this darkness that only gets darker as you let it develop through time. The longer you stay away from the problem, the bigger the hole gets. Sometimes you get sucked in. you let the problem consume you, it’s all you think about and you can’t let it go. Other times you run from the problem, and the farther you stay away from it, the harder it is to go back. Eventually, you look back and you see this giant black hole and say ‘I wouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot pole.’ You might even forget what the original commotion was all about. You just see this whole bunch of nothing, some mysterious place you’re afraid to go back to.

I didn’t heed the advice, I ran for years. I looked back and realized how foolish it was, how terribly I handled the situation. I lost a lot of friends because of a book. I opened it up this week to find a present for someone else, but I also found some memories to help patch up the hole. Happy birthday, Kat. I have nothing but love for you, always.

May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 1 Thessalonians 3:12

I thank my God every time I remember you. Phillipians 1:3

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. 1 Timothy 3:4
