"Life is complicated. It starts before we're ready, it continues while we're still trying to figure out the point of it. And it ends long before we've worked out just what to do." - Adrian Tan
...and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's been a stressful week, but shinning through it all I'm genuinely happy. It is the happiness that comes from within that is truly mine to own. Life is messy, wonderful, confusing, happy, exciting, devastating and imperfect. It is the imperfections that make it perfect. My advice to any of my friends when something hurts, is that it is supposed to. We are supposed to take the raw moments and grow. None of us should die with a whole and perfect heart. We should be brave enough to give pieces of it away, allow yourself to care about our friends, family, loved ones and even strangers enough to be hurt, and one day it will have been all worth it. I'm going to be proud of my bruised and scrapped up heart because it'll mean I've lived for something worthwhile. I'm proud of my scars both inside and out (if you know me at all, you will know that I'm the most accident prone person you will ever meet, we could play connect the dots with my surface scars). I am proud and happy of who I am today, and I'm not sorry for anything that's gotten me here. The most amazing lesson I learned in Thailand was to let things be. I don't need to have things planed out minute by minute, if things don't work out perfectly, it's ok. Most of the time it turns out better that way anyways. So here is to happiness, everyday.
