Do Not Open That Box..Again

STOP!

Please stop! Do not open that box!

I’m

Pleading

Begging

Beseeching

Imploring you.

And now, I’m demanding that you.

DO NOT OPEN THAT BOX!

Don’t even look at it.

Don’t even think about it!

Turn around and run away.

Have you forgotten what happened the last time you opened that box?

As I recall, the

Tears

Fears

Frustrations

Anger and

the old memories

came tumbling out.

You were overwhelmed and fell back into that deep dark hole. It took you ages to recover.

I was there. I saw the pain and sadness in your beautiful blue eyes.

And that, my dear, is my final warning!

I remember. I do.

But…this time, it just might be different.

I’m stronger and more resilient.

I believe I can handle it. I’m ready now.

It’s possible that the way out might just be inside that dark, scary box.

So, I’m going to take a slow, gentle deep breath and take a peek.

Here I go.

I’m ready to heal.

With Love & Energy by the Pond,

Laurel
