When all you do is run, sometimes it’s best to just take a break. Breathe. Take in life for a moment. You’d be surprised to find what’s right in front of you. Maybe it’s possible to live again; to stop having to constantly run. And maybe, you’ll realize that an anchor planted in firm ground, is all you ever needed. It’s okay to feel again. It’s okay.
…and this is why, my friends, you should never, never, never, EVER, open up to people.

If you were here beside me instead of in New York
If the curve of you was curved on me
I’d tell you that I loved you before I ever knew you
‘Cause I loved the simple thought of you
If our hearts are never broken, then there’s no joy in the mending
There’s so much this hurt can teach us both
Though there’s distance and there’s silence, your words have never left me
They’re the prayer that I say every day
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The long neon nights and the want of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps me in two
If you were here beside me instead of in New York
In the arms you said you’d never leave
I’d tell you that it’s simple, and it was only ever this
There is nowhere else that I belong
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The long neon nights and the ache of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps, me in two
Just give me a sign, there’s an end and not beginning
To this quiet chaos driving me mad
The long neon nights and the want of the ocean
And the fire that is starting to go out.

On this Christmas evening, I can’t help but reflect and think about this past year and all the ups and downs that came with it. I believe it’s always important to evaluate where you’ve been and where you’re headed in order to progress in life. I may have allowed myself to be vulnerable and naive, but the most important part is to recognize this and learn so the same mistakes aren’t repeated. Where there exists a lot of anger, there is also a lot of gratitude. Life has a funny way of sticking to its own plan, no matter how hard you try to avoid the inevitable.

Everyone experiences it. That lingering feeling of, “gosh, I really hope I’m right about this”. One of the scariest parts of life is ending up in a place where you are unhappy and unsatisfied. After working so hard for a better future myself, I am the first person to admit that I constantly worry about every decision I make. You read the quotes, try and adopt the theories of the philosophers, but how does a person truly just let go and not wonder for a second about the what-if’s or could-have-been’s?
It would be easy to dwell on this for the rest of your life; always thinking about the way things could have been. But obsessing over past ‘regrets’ only leads to a life of misery. After all, what if all that worrying is really just preventing you from realizing that the life you lead in the present is exactly where you need to be?
