I was trying to convince myself I was happy, that I was where I wanted to be, where I should be — despite every instinct in my body telling me otherwise

After the tears, and the grief for the life I thought I wanted, I started to see that I am meant for so much more than mediocrity — and trying to convince the wrong person I’m right.

Happiness doesn’t come from the other person, or the other situation… The green grass on the “other” side of the fence.
Happiness ALWAYS comes from “in side” you, and therefor “it flows through you” and into the world. So the other person is not responsible for making us happy, we are, and when we follow and stay in control of our own happiness, then our life is empowered. We’re following our own happiness and our lover is along for the fun, as we are for them. If at any time we step into and be apart of the decision of another person or our lover (just because you’re now lovers, doesn’t mean you stop thinking for yourself), we ask ourselves “does this inspire and energize me”? A simple yes or no, and by following that “yes” we surround ourselves with empowerment, which fills our self-love tank, and that keeps us clear of drama!

[Stories] have been told through the generations and because they focus on human emotions and failings they are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago

I want someone who can handle my chaos without trying to shrink it
