A heart made a choice. It recruited a mind and a body and formed a team. Team Me. As the team made its journeys through the LAND of LIFE, they encountered a lot of different experiences; some good and some not so good. Team Me tried to enjoy everything the LAND of LIFE had to offer but at times became very lonely. Despite Team Me’s loneliness, they did the best they could to make the most of things.
On a somewhat cloudy day, Team Me met Team You and suddenly things changed. Everything in the LAND of LIFE seemed to be so much better. The sun seemed to shine brighter, the air seemed to smell fresher, and even the flowers were more fragrant and vivacious. Team Me was very happy that Team You was around. Both teams seemed to get along extremely well. They shared a lot of the same interests. They learned a lot from each other. They talked all the time about the LAND of LIFE; how things used to be, how things had become, where things were going.
As time passed, the LAND of LIFE became more appealing to the outsiders. Team Me tried their best to keep out the intruders, but was unsuccessful. Team You didn’t think the intruders were so bad and eventually allowed them to stay around. Team Me once again noticed that things in the LAND of LIFE had changed. This time things changed for the worst. The sun that once was so bright started to dim. The air that once smelled so fresh became polluted. The flowers that were so fragrant and vivacious became smelly and lackluster. Even the bumpy roads the teams used to walk together seemed to become too difficult to navigate without the help of Team You.
Team Me didn’t know what they were going to do; but eventually decided to leave the LAND of LIFE and go somewhere that was less polluted. As Team Me was on its way out of the land it once inhabited, Team You surprisingly shows up. Team You stated that the intruders were gone and would not get in the way again. Team Me was very relieved and was happy at the outcome of things. Team Me really didn’t want to leave. Team You assured Team Me that if outsiders were about to get in the way again, Team Me would be notified.
Everything was great again. Team Me and Team You were inseparable. The teams enjoyed doing the things that they once did together and even more. Team Me forgot all about the outsiders and how they messed up the chemistry in the LAND of LIFE. The bumps in the road didn’t even matter anymore. Team Me wanted to make sure everything was good for Team You because that’s how important Team You was to Team Me.
On a very cold and dreary day, Team Me went to visit Team You and realized that there were new outsiders. Team Me was devastated and wanted to talk with Team You. Team You said that they didn’t get a chance to talk to Team Me about the current change in events. Team You also stated that it would be best if it left the LAND of LIFE. The union lasted about 2 years and ended just a quickly as it began.
Shortly after the demise of the union, Team Me faced its own personal hardships. The heart couldn’t function properly. It was constantly in pain and discomfort. As days passed, it worsened. Whenever the mind would think about things in the recent past with Team You, the heart would become extremely ill.
The mind also had its own issues. It was constantly in thought. It wondered how things would be if Team You never entered the LAND of LIFE. It wondered why pleasing outsiders was so important to Team You and how would Team You felt if the shoes were on the other feet.
Team Me, as a whole, was doing bad. The heart decided to leave the group, it felt as if it got in the way and let the other team members down. Not able to deal with the grief, it went into hiding and never appeared again. It was rumored to have gone to the LAND of BROKEN HEARTS. The mind and the body pleaded with the heart to stay, but it wouldn’t listen. It couldn’t deal with the departure of Team You. The other abandoned teammates were left to wander the dull and dreary LAND of LIFE alone. Although, other teams came and went; things never were the same after the departure of the heart.
Things were never the same again.
