What I want more than anything is that five years from now, I'll be able to write that the essence of who I am hasn't changed. That I still believe in the same principles and that I still have the same values. But most of all, I want to be able to write that I lived to the fullest of my potential and that I took risks. Yet not those trivial ones we make everyday, but those which upset the very fabric of our existence. Those which shatter the shell of our secluded lives and bring forth the kind of change that awakens the soul and jumpstarts our heart. The kind they write about in great literature, the kind I dream about. Still, even after everything.
Sometimes we come across people that touch us in ways we never thought possible. They understand us better than we do ourselves, and they always seem to know what to say and how to respond. Our circumstances interwine and before we even realise it, we're the same person. But as all things, some people aren't meant to stay. They're supposed to leave and take a piece of us with them, because only then can we learn the true meaning of survival. Only when we're ripped to shreds by the sheer act of someone walking away from our life, can we truly understand who we are as a person, and what we're capable of accomplishing. While saying goodbye for the last time, may be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do, know that no amount of change is too much to bear. All you need to do is look at the sky, and find solace in the fact, that no matter where you are in the world, the stars shall guide you home.
