Being an adult is tough. There is a reason Andy Warhol once said, "I have such a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept of hard work because, being alive is such hard work and not something that you always want to do.". I couldn't agree with that quote more. Finding the hope and drive to keep going despite the challenges that we are faced with, isn't always easy. Life gets straight up unbearable at times. The world is not a pretty place right now. With so much chaos, hope can be very dim if you let it be.
However, if I've learned nothing else useful, I've learned that life is what we make it. As much as we care about our relationships and having who matters in our life, you only get what you allow yourself to go after. The key might be to understand that who matters is always in your heart, but if you want to go after the world and your dreams, you will give up the privilege of physically being close to who you wish to be, when you wish to be. But we must be selfish with our lives, because no one else can live them for us.
We all need to try and go after our true dreams in life. If one is unhappy, the only person that can change that is that person. Happiness through others isn't true happiness. If we aren't happy with who we are naturally, above all else, then we'll never be happy. We end up where we do because of our and ours alone, choices. That responsibility is solely ours to bear, no one else's.
To end this small rant I'll quote a great philosopher's words: "Start loving yourself! God gave you the gift of life. Fall in love with it. Go crazy for it. Value it, feel it, have it, understand! There is no God, no divinity, no religion, nothing if you cannot fall in love with yourself." Go fall in love with yourself if you have not already done that vital action. It's the best kind of love there is.
Peace and One Love.
