I don’t know whether you are that kind of person who likes to observe how seasons change in their lives, but I am. When it comes to certain people leaving our lives, I always like to quote my sister “I like it when the trash takes itself out”. And she is absolutely right. This could be applied to every situation. Sometimes, we can be the trash too. We are all a villain in someone’s story.

But there comes a time in our life when we have to accept the circumstances as they are in order to progress. Acceptance and settling are two completely different things and it took me some time to learn the difference. When you cannot do absolutely anything about your circumstances even after you tried changing them, then you need to accept them, but if you accept from the start that this is all there is, and you didn’t even move your brain cell to change it, then you settled.

As someone who is always ready to take a leap of faith, it was devastating for me to learn to accept things in my life as they are right now. And learning that accepting also doesn’t mean giving up. We are in a constant evolution, sometimes it happens at a very fast pace, sometimes you repeat lessons until you are ready, but even in accepting, there is a lot of momentum. For example, I am learning to accept that I work in corporate and that I do something I absolutely do not have any feelings towards. But I also understand that this is a part of the process I’m here to finish. Sometimes changing companies will not give you what you are looking for. Cause what you are looking for is you. Also, working all day is the main cause of our unhappiness. If I didn’t have to waste so much of my precious time doing what I dislike, I could do so many things I actually want to do.

People ask me if I ever get bored at home alone? Man, with so many things I’m doing and want to do, I actually need the time that was taken away by the work system from me. Why and how are you bored? The system was literally designed to rob us off our precious time and hobbies. That’s why people tell you to do what you love. And that’s why I envy people who do what they love. There is something so liberating in doing what you love, it’s like a big f you to the system. And I’m here for it.
