Then I met You...

Now and then, I take time to look back on my life, on how and why I have ended up here and there.

When I look back, I see pain, suffering, rejection, many mistakes, and inevitably many heartaches. Of course, I also see some good experiences, but I’ve noticed that it’s not what drove me where I am today. My most painful ‘adventures’ are the ones that pushed me out of my comfort zone and represented my greatest challenges. I have always thought that success was achieved through pain and suffering. I have understood, recently, that, in order to pursue and attain self-achievement, success and to love oneself, you need to find the right balance between adversity and encouragement; happiness is a subtle mix between struggling by yourself and having a comforting support. I understand now. I wasn’t actually rejected from good stuff in the past, I was actually redirected to be exactly where I am suppose to be right now, which is even better.

How did I get to this mental epiphany ? well, it comes down to one simple sentence “and then I met you”.

To A. you are my best ‘meeting’, thank you for being here, for being you, and for your unconditional support.
