Finally had a good night sleep last night and woke up today to what felt like a new 'me'. For the past week everything felt so blurry and too far to reach. Everything just seemed so fragile. But now, I can finally breathe.
I finally sat myself down and watched 'Eat, Pray, Love'. I've always wanted to read the book but never got the chance to. Overall, I loved it. There's always that turning point in your life where you just need to change, you know? It's not easy. To look back and say goodbye to your past and just really start living life. The movie really taught me a lot. Like how you don't always need love to bring balance to life; but you also don't always have to push love away to keep balance. It's about the road to discovery. The road of soul searching. Sometimes, along the way you tend to lose yourself. All you need to do is find that balance, cling on to it, and get back to where you truly are supposed to be. Happiness doesn't just come knocking, you gotta work for it.
“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
-Elizabeth Gilbert, 'Eat, Pray, Love'
