There is this idea—it goes something along the lines of: if you feel strongly about something you want, something you yearn for, it’s already yours. Because if it wasn’t meant for you, you wouldn’t crave it so deeply. I heard it recently somewhere on the internet while I was aimlessly scrolling, and the idea has brought me a lot of internal peace.
Now don’t get me wrong—I know this idea could be a load of crap that the internet spews just to give people some sort of ease, the same way religion or a higher power gives people a sense of security. Well, religion isn’t crap. I’m religious myself, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think that sometimes it’s comforting to believe, because the alternative—nothing—isn’t very pretty.
Anyway, back to my original point. I used to wonder if any of my dreams would ever truly come true, and honestly, the realist in the back of my head always said no, while the naïve side of me always said yes. A very large internal battle. A couple of years ago, I would have heard this idea and not thought anything of it, but for some reason, this time I just want to believe it’s true.
It brings me a sense of ease that I don’t want to give up. Maybe a year from now, if nothing goes the way I want or I’m still nowhere close to my dream, then maybe I’ll throw the idea out the window—but for now, it stays.
I cannot begin to tell you how much worrying has been lifted off my shoulders by simply believing that everything I want is, and will come to me. And maybe it’s delusion, but please—no one pop my bubble.
I do wonder, in some way, how some of my desires are so strong while others are quieter. But the strong ones—I truly believe that if they weren’t part of my future, then why would I desire them at all?
Just food for thought.
