After having dinner with my girls last night, I realized that we all have our own story to tell. We all have our weird anecdotes that can make us laugh so hard or lead us all into tears.
- Being betrayed by the people (or that certain person) who we thought loved us the most
- Overcoming your fear and taking risks
- Falling into the trap of unrequited love
- Fighting for something or someone who’s just not worth it
- Being deceived by our dream job
- Having no support from our own family
- Falling in love with the wrong (kind of) person
- Losing your virginity to someone who totally doesn’t deserve it
- Getting reprimanded at home or work for something you didn’t even do in the first place and taking all the shit
- Questioning your sexual preference
- Seeing your photo in the newspaper or watching yourself on tv
- Getting proposed in the most romantic way
- Planning your future ahead of time (wayyyy ahead of time)
- Expecting a baby at such a young age
- Meeting someone who we’ve idolized for the longest time
- Drinking a bottle of Baygon simply because you wanted to
- Feeling lonely when you’re surrounded by a gazillion friends
- A job offer that never even crossed your mind
- Losing a friend and rebuilding the relationship after several years and as if nothing happened
- ten million more situations
At the end of the day, it’s what makes us the person we are today. These stories mold us to be a better person. They make our lives more interesting and colorful. Cliché, right? One of these days, I’d write all these stories and compile it into one book. I’m gonna bring Chicken Soup for the soul to a different level.
The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken.
Henry W. Longfellow
