I met with my friend. We talked about how she's not okay. How she wasn't ever since she broke up with her boyfriend. How she cries almost every night when she's alone. She sometimes wonders if she did the right thing. She doesn't say it but I feel like she partly blames herself for putting an end to their relationship. I know it hurts her to think why in the world her boyfriend or ex boyfriend let go of her so easily. Did he want to break up with her but never said a thing? Does he love someone else? Was she not enough?
She was told, "It's gonna be okay. If you're meant for each other, the world will find a way to bring you back together. If not, then maybe someone out there is meant for you."
But it's gonna be okay. I don't know when. But someday it will be.
"Okay" is used every single day in a million different ways. It can also be "I'm okay" which means "I really am not but I don't want to talk about it". This does not apply only to relationships but also in life. No matter what happens, IT IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE OKAY. Life may throw tons of crap at you, but maybe it's meant to be? Maybe it's meant to make you stronger, tougher-meant to train you to become a better version of yourself. Maybe there are things you still have to learn. Maybe you have to love and accept yourself wholeheartedly before loving others. Maybe you still have to grow. Maybe these are the reasons why it happened or may be there is no reason at all.
They say God does not give you a challenge He knows you can't handle. Whether you believe in God or not, someone out there actually believes you can handle anything life might throw your way. And instead of giving up or living in the past, learn and grow. Tomorrow always comes and it could be way more beautiful than today and yesterday.
So if you're struggling, drowning in fears and sorrows, and on the verge of giving up, DON'T.
It's going to be okay.
It always will be.
So here's something beautiful from Oliver Nolau:
"I will be okay someday. Bad things happen for no reason sometimes and things end but that doesn't mean you should come to and end too.. The ocean will always have waves, I just have to learn to swim through them for a bit longer."
