everything is a sign (as long as you want it to be)

I think a lot of us, no matter how far along we are on our journey, have a bit of doubt left from what we learned from society. And while I think you should always have critical thinking about everything you learn, sometimes you also just need to... believe. 

You, and I, us, we are all connected, all under the same stars in the sky. Nothing is a coincidence, and everything that happens is meant to happen - Unless you decide for yourself that isn't the case. The best part about the Universe? We are in control. It's up to you to decide how you want to live your own life. It's up to you to decide how you want to think, and how you want to connect with the world around you. 

I love that we are all different. I love that what works for me won't work for someone else. And i'm learning to love that I am myself and not anyone else. 

Sometimes I get anxious when I hear people say that "Everything is a sign." Or that "Everything that happens was meant to happen." It freaks me out, because I think of all my nonsensical thoughts, and all of the bad things that happened to me, and I wonder, "Did I deserve all of that pain?" 

I've decided that the answer to that is no. I am in control of my own life, my own self. My connection to the Universe is personal and mine alone. And I believe that good things will happen to me, and that I deserve good things. I choose my own signs. 

Maybe to someone else, everything is a sign. But not for me. And I love that.  We are all so unique, and yet the exact same. 

I still have a lot to learn. But I know that as long as I remember that the Universe is on my side, I think i'll do just fine <3
