I Would Love To Die In Space. So If Ever I'll Become An Astronaut And The Mission Failed Even Before

"It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them."

– Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices 2)

You’ll think you found someone great because he texts you that he misses you when he’s alone in bed at night until you meet someone who texts you that he misses you in the middle of the day when he’s surrounded by people. Then you’ll realize that sometimes you don’t know what’s actually great until you find better.

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”

— Neil Gaiman

What I learned this past few days:

It’s natural to ask ourselves if this is the life we wanted. A lot of us navigate through life still searching for a place to belong no matter who we are or what we do.

We must find our why. Why we keep doing the things we are doing. What makes us stay.

We must remind ourselves that we are here. Do not let the worry, overthinking, and doubts, make us fail to see how great is the now.

So breathe. Soak it in.

The laughs, the memories, the ideas shared. The frustration, the late night voices and the sleepy morning greetings. We are here, with these people, with these memories.

No matter how lost we are, or how dim our paths could be, let these memories and experiences light our way.

So run along now. We might be lost, but this journey is as good as being found.

Sincerely,

April 🍃
