Jk.
Maybe.
I hope to fall in love a million times. I think love is so wonderful and gorgeous and exciting. I want to meet many people who excite me, entice me, and make me fall for them.
After all, the fall is the best part.
The reason I wrote this chapter is because I recently have gone through a breakup. It is so hard and awful; endings are not my forte.
But it’s made me realize as much as I hate endings I love beginnings. I love first hellos and the idea of starting over. And EVERY SINGLE DAY is an opportunity to start over. I believe in fate and that everything happens for a reason. So if something has just ended in your life, know it’s because it was MEANT to end. It ended so that something better could take its place in your life. That has always proven to be true for me. It’s that thought that guides me through the hard times. And I hope if something is ending in your life, you are able to realize that, yeah . . . That SUCKS. I miss THAT. THAT was supposed to be mine forever. It’s not always FAIR. BUT . . . Know that your loss is making room for something else. No matter how much it might hurt right now.
Every new beginning means something else has to end.
So, c’mon.
Let’s make a new beginning.
