life is so full of paradoxes. the very people that we think understand us the most, are the one who makes us feel misunderstood. people we love the most, have the most capacity to hurt. we hate getting hurt, but lean on expectations. we abandon those who care about us, and wait for those who don’t. we constantly search for happiness, when we fail to realize that before someone else makes us happy, we have to make ourselves happy first.
this life is a journey with constant learning experience. that one mistake does not kill, but a thousand of the same thing just might. that it is never too late to go back if you realize you’re on the wrong path. that each person in your life is there for a reason. that when their purpose in your life is over, they might go for your own good. that letting go, and learning to live with it, sometimes hurt less than holding on. that the right thing will come at the right time. and the right people too. that the things that you are terrified the most might just be the door to your happiness. that God doesn’t leave us. no matter how many times we left Him. that second chances exist. but third and fourth? maybe not.
learn to accept yourself. learn to be happy with who you are. open your eyes for chances, experiences, everything that the world has to offer. embrace the chilly morning air, the orange autumn leaves, and the sparkly freezing nights. learn to distinguish between what you want, what you need, and what you deserve. learn to let people go, let things go, if their presence in your life creates more tears than laughter. you might think you can’t live without them, but you can. learn to love you. learn to find the happiness within. learn to make peace with yourself.
