Solar Panels On A Cloudy Day...

"Sunny days; everybody loves them.  Tell me baby can you stand the rain..."

How many times have you witnessed or been a party to this?  When your spouse, lover, family member or friend are a having a terrible time at it.  A drought hits for them that may last weeks and this person soon begins to change on you.  You go from sympathy to bitter indifference because you have no choice but to begin to take their distance personally.  Now, on top of all else this person has to deal with, they now have to deal with you too.  This once close important person to you is now someone you consider fucked up.  They didn't have time for you and they didn't bother explaining themselves either.  You cut them off...

Who's right...who's wrong?  If your conscience still works settle down, stop and think.  Why do you think this about you?  Consider when it started and how it got worse.  Should you have said something sooner or just stepped aside, watched and waited for things to settle?  Your pride will say fuck em but the truth will have you apologizing for being such a shit individual.  Why the truth?  Some truths remain a constant irrespective of feelings and miscommunication and the truth that should carry you through their silence is the importance and/or love this person has engendered in your heart.  These things never change but how you manifest them can depending on what has happened.  Now if nothing actually happened to make your feelings change, get a fucking grip.  Though feelings may change from inner and outer stressors, they had nothing to do with you so why then should their love and/or importance be questioned?  The fact is, they shouldn't and it is because of this, I do not change my behavior even if someone else does.  I will ask if it's about me, accept the answer and move forward.  If I change my behavior then I will allow my "weather feelings" to denounce an established truth and I will lose someone dear to me in the process.  Nah, not me...

Solar panels still work on cloudy days.  Do you know why?  The sun still exists...it always will.  Though the output may not be the same on these days, don't worry...one day the clouds will pull back and you'll see the sun shining as it did before.  Output will normalize and you will remember why this person owns a place in your heart.  It is then that you will see the truth of things... that it was worth waiting out the storm...
