When I’m finally ready to let go, I jump off, and enjoy the swim. I’ve started using this mental scenario in my head for almost everything, but one of the best examples that I can give you is about relationships.

Sometimes we feel powerless in a world where we’re taught to feel powerful. Where we’re taught to put our best foot forward and fight for what it is that we love. Sometimes the world doesn’t want you to succeed (thanks DJ Khaled), and beats you down until you feel like nothing.

1) We’re capable of doing things for ourselves.

Talent is hidden everywhere.

Some days things go exactly the way we want them to, and other days our hopes and dreams are crushed into a blender and served as a sorrowful sundae with flakes of disappointment sprinkled on top.

Nothing says “fall is here” quite like binge-eating an entire pack of cinnamon sugar donuts.

Have you ever taken a good look around yourself and realized that a good portion of your friend group was either married, engaged, or basically on the verge?

4. The friend you hung out with once.

When you run into somebody that you haven’t seen in a while, and they ask how “so and so” is without knowing that the two of you split.

The proverb “What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul.” is one that I live by. Crying helps to clean your soul, and release any pent up emotion that can otherwise be really unhealthy when kept harbored.

Accept people for who they are, and not who you want them to be. That’s a one-way ticket to Disappointment Land.
