Those Open & Honest Moments In Broken Relationships

By Evan Sanders


There are these moments during particular days where I have to be incredibly truthful with myself about what I happen to be going through and feeling. I know when it is about to occur because I get this wave of power from the apex of my neck down to my lumbar region and I feel my mood begin to change. I once was frightened of it...the trickling feeling of water almost dripping down my back. But in time I have been taught the simple way to sit with it.

What follows after is pure stillness. Deep in thought. Numb. I feel truth bubbling to the surface.

Often we travel through life not realising that there are things under the surface. We believe that we have completely recovered or have moved on, but in truth there are still pieces to the puzzle that must be put together. Maybe Maybe it is only one piece left, just maybe it is simply this moment where you have to sit down completely and get quiet for the last time, or perhaps it demands more of your attention.

There's an engaging balance between moving forward and taking the time, whatever the situation might be and starting to understand what is going on inside of you. I believe most of the time when someone is hurt and people see it they try to tell that person to pick themselves up as fast as possible and forget the past. This information, while meant to be beneficial, isn't actually pragmatic - as the same person who gave that guidance, in the same scenario, couldn't possibly take it.

The most sensible advice you could give isn't to forget as quick as you can and blast forward, but to sit with whatever is going on within. To let it all flow through you. The only way you can really understand what something really means to you, especially in a relationship, is by experiencing the result of things.

Have a honest moment.

Don't run or hide from feelings that you would associate as negative. They are life's way of balancing you out. When you try and block them or manipulate them, you are putting yourself in a horrid place. Let life do what it must do in order to keep you learning and growing.

When the moment is over, then move forward. Don't attempt to change it while you are in it. Something is trying to chat with you. Open yourself to emotions and feelings and let them speak reason into your heart.
