I found a reason to believe ♥

Today I realised yet again that life is not that bad. In fact, it's pretty good. So what if life is a bitch sometimes - most of the times, don't we all love to bitch around every once in a while?

Optimism is sanity and love takes away most people's sanity. Mistakes define people and regrets help make better decisions. And eventually all grudges fall apart, all the tears and pain make us stronger - you might find yourself alone in despair and maybe everything will go wrong giving you absolute no reason to believe in anything, but it’s only a matter of time before your fates turn around – There is only so much falling before you hit rock bottom, and the only way from there is up. Friends may have fall outs and fights, they might disappoint you and fail your expectations, but true friends will always be there for you and at the end of the day that is what actually matters.

Every song has a CODA, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away. Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? The truth is, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just life. So if you love someone, give it your all - it won’t always work out but it sure as hell will be worth it. Life won’t always be easy, people leave, shit happens but it will be worth it - it always is.

So maybe you don’t get what you want now, eventually you'll get what you need. Maybe you work hard and not get that grade, maybe you embarrass yourself, date the wrong guy, bad haircut - years later you will laugh about it, all you'll have will be good memories. So if you lose someone you love, whether they leave you, move away or maybe buried six feet under - it will hurt at first till you think you can’t recover and when you do recover, trust me it won’t hurt, all you'll be left with would be beautiful memories. And sometimes it’s ok to be a train wreck.

George Bernard Shaw once wrote: "There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it." Yes, losing your heart's desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire? That's all you can hope for. This year I wished for love... to immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me all the tragedy in the world. Because I wouldn't give it back for the world.

This year I wished for love. My wish was granted.

For all I know, everything will be ok, maybe not today or tomorrow or even in weeks, but it will be. There may not be a happy ending every time but in the end you won’t have regrets, it won’t hurt to look back at everything. But not having a happy ending doesn't mean you won’t be happy. Happiness isn't a measure of success, or having everything you want – it’s a state of mind, of satisfaction. Little things matter, they make you smile. And that is the first step to being happy. 

Heaven on Earth' is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.

Sooner than it seems, life turns around ♥
