Moving On

"The only thing worse than feeling you can't move on, is the moment you realize you can."

- Tommy from the television series Instant Star


I completely identify with this sentiment. I'm going through this exact thing right now, which you would know if you read my main blog Silent Cacophony or if you follow me on Twitter. 

It's a scary thought, thinking you can't move on, and even scarier when you realize you can.

It's funny how everything that has been happening lately, even watching a random episode of this show, which I normally don't watch, ends up speaking to me.

It's like it's just the time for me to move on and the world is letting me know.

What it was like Before

Ephram tries to consul Amy after her loss;

"You know, after my mom died, everybody told me that I was gonna be ok. That it would take a little time, but I would heal. Well, that didn't ever happen; not really anyway. . . What you're feeling right now Amy, it doesn't ever really go away -- not completely. It's not like, ya know, you're gonna go back to being the person you were before they died -- the person's gone. It's more like something inside of you breaks and your body finds a way to compensate for it. Like if you busted your right hand, you figure out how to use the left one. And sure, you might resist for a while because you're pissed off that you have to learn all this stuff again that nobody else does. Eventually your body takes over and figures it out for you. And you’re glad, because if it was up to you. . . you'd look at your broken hand forever and try to figure out what it was like before."
