Uniquely You

We truly can't predict the ways in which something will change us until they happen. 

We may dread the loss of a relationship only to find that we feel a thousand times better single, or we may really want to break up with someone only to find out they were the one person we simply could not live without. 

Life is chaotic and complicated. Our minds become the master of confusing things. One thing is for certain is that everyone deals with these crossroads of change in different ways. 

Let people grieve how they see fit. Our hearts are fragile and each has its unique ways of healing... And more importantly, its own schedule. We may never understand what someone is going through because we cannot possibly experience everything they have gone through.

The older I get, the more I am learning that not everyone has the same heart as me. Sometimes I can cry at the thought of a sad song, and sometimes I can stay strong through the loss of a loved one... But the quicker I realize that not everyone will understand my feelings, and that I can't always understand other people's feelings, the more able I am to lend a shoulder to cry on in time of need; whether I understand the need to cry or not. 

You're uniquely you. Everything you have been through has designed a heart that is unlike anyone else's. Don't feel bad for not being okay, and don't make other people feel bad for not being okay. We each have a road paved specifically for our purpose- a purpose that only you can fulfill; remember this when dealing with matters of the heart.
