Chapters
Relationships can be like chapters, periods vast in experience, rich with emotion but only there for a section of the book. Chapters represent those sections of beauty we can appreciate but cannot hold on to, as life continues, and another chance presents itself to discover a whole book.
Whilst pages are quick spurts with another, like a one time date or a one night stand, chapters represent phases of pure bonds and enveloped emotions. Just as a chapter in a book, you read, you love, you understand, and once the chapters complete you reflect then continue to the next stage in the book. Chapters is acknowledging that some people we will get to know, and those same people may not be in our lives forever, but we can appreciate them for the chapter they gave us. A chapter being a period of time from a couple weeks to more then a decade of experienced depth with another. Of love, laughing, holding one another, the good times and the bad, all this does not need to be forgotten but it should not be clung to for more than a period of your life.
Appreciate this time spent, the memories made, put it all into a chapter in your book, and when you are ready you can continue reading. There will be new chapters, a whole book may even come to fluorescence, a person whom which you spend your remaining life with. Chapters is not for giving current relationships uncertainty, it is a moto of reflection based on deliberation and acceptance of relationships recently passed or passing. It follows the concept of impermanence, allowing one to see and appreciate something for what it was but understanding life moves on, time heals all if you allow it, and that a large variety of experiences are coming your way, some good, some bad, and others phenomenal.
Pages, chapters, and the entire book. You may experience many chapters, of meeting a variety of new people for a course of time. You may be caught in the world of pages, one night entertainments, the quick acquaintances gone within a day. Or possibly you may find yourself an entire book, someone you write the whole novel with, through the good the bad the ugly you got their back and they got yours. These are all experiences and the joys of your journey, acknowledge and cherish them for taking part in your book.
