The universe often brings beautiful souls into our existence, only to seemingly take them away. These individuals, with whom we've shared dreams and hopes, may, in fact, be vital lessons we wouldn't learn otherwise. Like brilliant lights, they arrive to illuminate the hidden corners of our potential and worth. As painful as it may be, it's through the journey of loss and heartbreak that we're guided to the path meant just for us.

Life will balance back out again and you will go through worse pain and you'll need this experience as absolutely necessary and it will become a part of who you are. So, take a long look and whether you like it or not, figure out who you are as a unique person.
Friend, so much of our ability to remain patient depends upon our ability to practice being hopeful, to believe that in everything there is a reason and that all detours, setbacks, and heartbreaks are - in reality - preparing you for something better.
So, friend, if you ever find yourself in these dark moments - the ones you're not sure you can navigate through to the other side - please have faith in yourself and, even though you can't see it yet, the happiness that awaits you.
Life is a constant journey of self discovery and growth. For this journey to be complete, unfortunately, it cannot be without pain and failure.
We will be broken, hurt, disappointed, and abandoned... and, friend, this isn't a terrible fate. This may sound confusing to you. Why would suffering be good, you wonder?
