“There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or
being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to
be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love
with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You
need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole
being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with
friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your
own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up
for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but
don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for
yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I
promise.”
Emery Allen
Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on
some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or
as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand
one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet
these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest
circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes
me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it
definitely makes me believe in something.”
