Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else. Something that feels wrong only because it's so unfamiliar & in that moment you realize you're happy.
Albert Camus once wrote "Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken." But I wonder...if there's no breaking then there's no healing, & if there's no healing then there's no learning. And if there's no learning then there's no struggle. But struggle is a part of life. So must all hearts be broken?
People are going to disappoint you all the time... but what if you wake up one day and realize that you're the disappointment? Because, it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. Know that happiness isn't a destination. It's a mood, it's not permanent. It comes and goes and if people thought that way then maybe people would find happiness more often.
Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives, or if the moments in our lives make us? It seems as if every day we ignore how completely broken the world is, & we tell ourselves it's gonna be okay..but the truth is it's not. Forgiveness isn't easy.. Hatred is easy.. Bitterness is easy. But forgiveness, that's a tough one..Sometimes people write the things that they cannot say. & sometimes they put up walls, not to keep people away..but just to see who cares enough to tear those walls down. Yes, people make mistakes. But if they're willing to put the past behind them, then we should too. I mean what's more important; what we become, or how we become it? There comes a time in life when every life goes off course. And in this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Because every day you wait, is another day you won't get back again. Sometimes the greatest rewards in life come from doing the things that scare you the most . There are two tragedies in life, one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it. Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically...to those who hardly even think of us in return. You see, that's what I'm afraid of... Not being smart enough. Not being good enough. Not being pretty enough. I'm afraid of not being enough. But you can't run away from weakness. You must fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now & where you stand? At the end of the day, you only have one chance in life, and what you do with that one chance is up to you.
Sometimes you have to step outside the person you've been & remember the person you were meant to be. Losing your way on a journey is unfortunate, but losing your reason for the journey is a fate more cruel. And in this world, where so many are lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone. & Anyone who thinks it's more than you can handle is less than the kind of person you need in your life. Life is short and opportunities are rare, & we have to be vigilant in protecting them. Our biggest regrets are not for the things we have done, but for the things we haven't done & said. I know you want some answers, but what is the right answer? Because there are no answers, it's just life. But never keep from saying something, simply because you're scared of the answer. You may miss your only opportunity to do what's right.
Someone once said that death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. You think so?
