It’s funny how at 4:25 any other rainy morning, I would find myself in tears because of you. But today, I stand a little bit taller than yesterday. Maybe even a little stronger because of it all.
The pain has turned to anger, then to regret, now to a lesson well learned. The world is not your friend. It owes you nothing. To glide through life with the expectation that you are immensely important is a foolish thing to do. We are all just so insignificant with the most inadequate problems, yet we act like we are the world. That our problems are everyone’s problems. But the truth is, is that we are not important. Not to anyone else. And if you live life depending on someone else for your happiness, you’re going to hit that brick wall sooner or later. Please, for the sake of yourself, don’t confide in another human being for happiness. Because humans are unable to think of anyone but themselves. It’s just instinct. Survival of the fittest. If you depend on someone else for happiness, then sooner or later, you’re going to be let down and left for dead. I think that is why I stand a little taller today. Because even though I’ll be okay in the long run, I’ll never let my guard down like I did with you. I will never forget the possibility of someone taking my happiness away from me like you did. I won’t ever let anyone be the sole reason for my happiness, unless that someone is myself. And I have you to thank for that.
So yes, on this particular rainy morning at 4:25, I am standing taller than I was yesterday morning. Or the morning before that. Each day, I grow a little bit further from you. My roots dig deeper into the soil, and I firmly plant myself into the idea that I am whole without you.
I am whole without you.
