Sometimes, the things youre meant for will scare you.
Sometimes, theyll surprise you.
Sometimes, theyll fill you with joy, and other times, confusion.

Youll realize you didnt know what was best for you.
The city you end up with may not have been one on your radar.
It might not be the one you dreamt of when you were young.
The person you end up with might not be the jot down you thought was perfect for you.
They might be the opposite of anything you ever thought you were interested in.
Youll be forced to deal with your issues.
Instead, theyll make you face those things, more than ever before.
The things that you are meant for are not a means of escape.
The work youre meant for will challenge your insecurities.
Youll realize that the right things happen more effortlessly than not.
Youll notice that the job youre meant for will just sort of come to you one day.
Youll notice that the person youre meant for wont play games with you.
Youll justbetogether no deciphering signs, no picking apart messages, no excuses, no postponing.
Youll recognize that you dont have to force whats really right for you.
Youll worry maybe more than ever before.
Do you know what happens as soon as you find something that is so undeniably right for you?
You start fearing how you could lose it.
But, of course, those worries are so rarely ever founded in reality.
Learn to see your worry as the opposite end of love.
Know that every time youre tense and overthinking, youre actually just trying to protect your joy.
Instead of shielding yourself from it, realize its there, and start feeling it.
Youll dream of your sister lives.
They might even seem more appealing at times, though you know they ultimately arent right.
This doesnt mean youre not happy.
It doesnt mean youre doing the wrong thing, or with the wrong person.
Youll gradually feel more and more content.
Its a myth that happiness is something that hits us immediately when we change our lives.
Thats usually a sign of escapism.
Contentment orrealhappiness often comes steadily, and over time.
It takes a while to get used to yourself and your work and your new place in life.
It takes a while to adjust to a new routine and mindset.
It takes time to find ease with what youre doing and where you are.
You start to blossom.
The job that is right for you will help you become more of yourself, not less.
So will the city and person and everything else.
Youll realize that you were always closer than you thought.
If nothing else, the things that are right for you will make you feel more at ease.
They will release some of your fears about the world, and your place in it.
The things that are meant for you will make you feel more reassured.
Theyll bolster your confidence and your vision.
