A/N: Hey guys! I'm back! And with something more positive and happy to keep the good vibes going as we roll into February!
Here ya go:
Something old
Because to start with the new you need to know the old. You need to look back at the past, see what it has to show you, learn from it, make peace with it and only then can you move forward.
It was a ring. Passed down for generations, from mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers. It held stories from the past, of lives that were well lived or cut short. It had traveled the world, it had been dropped and washed and loved. And now it was hers.
Something blue
Why blue? Because blue has a depth, a stability. An implicit trust that binds it together and a loyalty. It's the color of the sky that stretches forever and the sea that winds deep. It's gentle and calm and his favorite color, so why not.
It was a bouquet. Held tightly in hands that had held everything from a flower to a knife. The petals were soft and vibrant, mixed with whites and greys. They had grown under the watchful eyes of people who were considered family and harvested for this one purpose. Besides, the bouquet was practically a fortune teller.
Something borrowed
If you really think about it, you never truly own anything, you simply borrow it from the Earth, the elements. And eventually everything is returned to these things. Borrowing implies giving back. Giving back to your friends, family, the universe.
It was a dress. Simple and elegant and previously worn by someone who was considered a sister. The sentiment attached to it was more than just happiness but pride and love. It showed a bond, a giving back, a testament to all the years spent together.
Something new
And here is where it begins really. A fresh start, a beginning, to the rest of their lives. The first step in a journey that led into the unknown. It was a bit scary, a bit overwhelming but ultimately exciting. Because that's what allows us to move forward in life, when we do something new.
It was everything. It was their lives, their relationship. It was the kiss I do, and the first slice of cake. It was the words said and the music played. Every moment was something new.
Every moment is filled with every possibility, every venture that life has to offer. Any moment can change your life. Life does not allow for stagnancy. Everything changes, everything grows. Every moment is different from the last.
Our lives are constantly anew with opportunities.
And theirs were ready to take on whatever this something new had to offer.
A/N: So what do you think? I wanted to set this at the end of the month as motivation to keep up those new years resolutions and that mentality of trying new things. This was a prompt set by another fandom I write for and I really liked the idea and this is what came to mind.
I hope you liked it!
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts! And as always, thanks for reading!
