if it’s meant to be, it will be

“You cannot force someone or something to come into your life” is a lesson I’ve learned the hard way. It’s true, that we can’t make people around us like us; some will, some won’t. Often, we need to accept that “it is what it is.” Let fate take its course. That’s why there’s such a thing as fate and destiny — what’s meant for us will come.

It can be a hard pill to swallow but learn to accept that certain things are beyond your control. You do not have to force people to do what you want or act in a certain way toward you. The only thing you can do is be sincere and allow them to be who they are. Their actions will show their genuine intentions and how important you are to them.

When it comes to people, communication is important, but you must also know when to stop explaining how you expect to be treated. Begging is unnecessary. Some individuals do not treat or love you well, not because they do not understand, but because they refuse to. No matter how many times you ask people to value you or convince yourself that they will change, nothing will happen unless they choose to. You can voice your hurt and desires, but you can’t make them give you what you deserve.

That hurts a lot, but dear, you deserve so much more. Would you let yourself be stuck and do the same cycle again and again, when there are a lot of people in the future that are meant to love you? Would you let yourself be damaged again and again?

Always remember, whatever flows, flows. What goes away, let go. What comes, comes. What’s lost, let go. And what happens, accept. Better things come when you wait for what’s truly meant for you. Accepting things is better than forcing them. Never lose yourself trying to fit into someone else’s life.

When the right time comes and you meet “the one,”, or the friends that are meant to love you genuinely, I hope they enter your life regardless of any obstacles. May they bring you peace and happiness — because we all deserve to be happy in this lifetime. And if you feel you haven’t met them yet, just be patient. The universe might already be working to bring you together.
