You will be grateful things didn’t turn out the way you wanted. You will be grateful for what you struggle with once you get to the other side. - Brianna Wiest

It’s not about getting over things, it’s about making room for them. It’s about painting the picture with contrast.

There is no job, person, or city that you can force to be right for you if it is not, though you can pretend for a while. You can play games with yourself, you can justify and make ultimatums. You can say you’ll try just a little longer, and you can make excuses for why things aren’t working out right now. The truth is that what is right for you will come to you and stay with you and won’t stray from you for long. The truth is that when something is right for you, it brings you clarity, and when something is wrong for you, it brings you confusion.

You realize that nothing will save you, and so you must begin the work of saving yourself, which is the entire purpose of your life.
