18. What happened to my dad’s best friend?

“My dad’s dad had a friend who he would always go fishing with. They hunted, owned horses, and were best friends. Then one day his friend just disappeared out of nowhere. No leads to anything. Everything seemed okay, no debt, paid off house, no enemies, nothing was taken or moved from his house too, like he just got up and left.

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
