I’m constantly torn between “if it’s meant to be, it will be” and “if you want it, go and get it.”

“if it’s meant to be, it will be” - friendships, relationships, people in general coming into your life, dealing with rejection

“if you want it, go get it” - your goals, aspirations, work and work ethic, changing your life (diet, exercise, hobbies, political views, opinions)

“I’m not sure what love is, but I think it’s hearing her say, “You’re an asshole,” while her smile betrays the words that just came out of her mouth. It’s getting a FaceTime call at eight in the morning so she can show you her outfit, because she thinks she looks really cute that day. I think love is blurting out exactly how you feel about her when she asks you why you’re looking at her “like that.” It’s unplanned and sloppy, the exact opposite of how you wanted it to happen; but the smile on her face tells you that it was perfect in its own way. Love is being afraid to let her know about certain parts of yourself, but telling her anyways. It’s making breakfast with her in the morning, dancing with her despite your two left feet, and passionately singing the wrong lyrics just to hear her laugh. I’m not sure what love is, but it just might be magic.”

Our problem as humans is that we obsess over the bad things that happen to us and don’t acknowledge all the times our lives are good. I got rear ended on the way to work once and I cried over it for a week because I loved my car and it wasn’t fair because it wasn’t my fault. But that was one time, one trip to work out of the thousands of trips to work that went perfectly fine. So my point is, we curse the red lights but don’t acknowledge all the times the light is green. Not once have I stopped to think about all the things that could have gone wrong on my trip to work but didn’t. Not once have I stopped to appreciate the fact that I got to work safely. But then the one time I don’t, it’s the end of the world and life isn’t fair. We’re not entitled to an easy life or to good fortune so even though it seems like we are, we need to appreciate each time that nothing goes wrong if we want the right to complain every rare time something does go wrong.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.

I’m in love with you because you make me feel safe. It sounds corny and vague. People always talk about feeling safe with someone and you wonder what it even means. I still don’t really know. All I know is that when I’m with you, I feel like I’m clutching a giant thing of pepper spray or reliving a moment of being carried to bed by my parents when I was five years old and fell asleep in front of the television. All day long, I can feel fragile, like a raw nerve, and when I come home to you, it’s like I just put on the thickest winter coat and installed bulletproof windows in my apartment. ‘Honey, I’m home…and no longer terrified.

This year I learned the true meaning of loss and gain. I lost myself in the process of finding myself, I lost a relationship, I lost friendships, and I lost emotional balance in my life. But all those losses were never really a loss, they were a gain. I gained the ability to recognize self-love, appreciation, better friendships and most importantly; STRENGTH. 2017 for me was the year of strength and how much of it I’m capable of having. Thank you 2017 for making me realize I am stronger than what I allow myself to believe. Thank you for making the hardest year of my life into the biggest lesson I know I needed. 2017; you helped me find myself.

People think they know you. They think they know how you’re handling a situation. But the truth is no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when you’re lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don’t know what’s going on inside your head—the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isn’t their fault. They just don’t know. And so they pretend and they say you’re doing great when you’re really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.
