The song “Fine” by Jaymes Reunion gives a new perspective on the struggles we all face in life. It starts with a question about love and life… and the answer seems to be that we don’t truly appreciate anything until we’ve had to live without it.
The chorus goes like this:
You never really loved until you watch it fall apart
And you never really lived until you felt like you can die
And you never really stood until the weight has pushed you over
You’re pickin’ up the pieces just to find
You’re doin’ just fine
What is love if it isn’t tested? How sweet is life when it’s been plucked from the jaws of death? How much stronger are we when we’ve overcome obstacles? Even if it seems like life is falling apart, maybe it’s just coming together.
You may be the person who has always wanted to have it all together: the career, the family, the organized household, the interesting hobbies, the community leadership, and the ability to manage it all with style and grace.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to “have it all” in the eyes of the world. Life is full of hard decisions and sacrifices that have to be made. Life is an imperfect, unpredictable, tangled web of desires, responsibilities, intentions, experiences and hopes. The things that hurt the most may cause the most growth. Everything along the way, for better or for worse, makes you who you are.
Even as you strive to experience love, joy, and life, you may need to take the scenic route to get there.
