Life isn’t fair and it doesn’t come with rainbow roses, you don’t get to fall in love forever, you don’t get to not make mistakes, you don’t get to be perfect forever. I have learned some lessons I wish I didn’t have to, I have lost myself in the process of finding out about the monsters I hid beneath my bed, and I have laughed off my emotions as something wobbly and not something stable. Life isn’t fair and it doesn’t always work out. It doesn’t, but it doesn’t mean we get to give up. You will fall, and you will fall hard. You will fall more times than you can get back up. You will fall off a cliff. You will fall off the last page of your favorite book. You will fall into inkwells. You will fall into a fire pit. You will burn. You will bleed. Life isn’t fair, but it doesn’t mean that it isn’t. Sometimes, we have to give ourselves a second chance to do it right. Forgiving yourself is one of the hardest things I’ve been trying to do, I’m still trying to successfully love myself without breaking at the thought of how horrible I’ve been to people. You don’t get to change how you were, you only get to change how you are now. I haven’t changed much, but it does get better. Life isn’t fair and that’s okay. Life isn’t fair and it’s not so bad. If life was fair, we wouldn’t learn. So it’s okay to make mistakes, we all have to learn some day.
And there’s no better time than now.
